It’s easy to get lost on the well trodden path
Never taking any chances – always following the crowd
Can’t hear the knock of opportunity, the voices are too loud
They tell you how to live
They tell you where to go
Tell you what to think – all you need to know

I don’t need money, I don’t need fame
I don’t need you to remember my name
I just need to see – that things are getting better
I need to be the change
Whatever small part I can play
To make this world a better place

Are you under control?
Are you selling your soul?
Do you make your own choices?
Or parrot the voices
Those quoting the books
Never really seeing
No one really looks

Before you go out on the street
Be sure it’s you that moves your feet
Before you speak out make your choice
Is it your own words using your voice?

America, America...
You say he sheds his grace on thee
Land of the brave & home of the free
Why should he favor one or the other
The world is one – we're all brothers

You’re so well trained, entertained
Total constrained, thoughts ingrained
Key to your will – ascertained
With TV and pills – you are maintained

It’s time to get mad – Get a little bit crazy
The days are dark – thoughts get hazy
Strange days have come, never thought it could be
Take a look around, you gotta agree
Necessary illusions – conscious confusion

It’s you that let’s it be this way
Why do we let someone lead us astray
They’re putting you in a mental cage
Why doesn’t this incite your rage?

The final plan is in the making
Millions of souls ripe for the taking
Do you want to sit and let it pass?
