[Verse 1: Isor One]

Robots sit in front of the television, take it all in

Let mainstream commercialism seep into your skin

That’s what they’re selling you so they need you to buy in

‘cause without the consumer the empire is dying

Mass mind control is the objective goal

And just to make a profit, some would sell you their soul

So [?] to the system like you don’t have to pay rent

‘cause another commercial just means another dollar spent

It never relents, it stretches as far as the еye can see

And on this totem pole thеre is no one as high as me

The typical American view, pursue

The clouds I dive through from a bird’s eye view

Looking down upon you, I watch you spend mindless

We need a new plan of action, the key is defiance

Government is taking money from our check without asking

I don’t call that taxing, I call it a fucking jack

[Chorus]

Contrived control

Think your money is really going to charity?

Unable to see through the insincerity

I suppose they’re rich and now they have the right to brag? No

Brainwashed, waving the American flag from a mast

It’s contrived control

Think your money is really going to charity?

Unable to see through the insincerity

I suppose they’re rich and now they have the right to brag? No

Brainwashed, waving the American flag from a mast that’s made of glass

[Verse 2: guest feature]

Analyze the contrast between the past and future

Nothing’s built to last yet we continue to maneuver through the matrix we’ve created, this surreal landscape where a man is determined by how much money he makes

Remember in my younger years, it was less complex

Contact lists were kept upon your desk in a rolodex instead of a computer

We’ve become so digitized

Witness the earth fall off its axis

Seems to be a far cry

From the earth that bore me back in 1985, in the days when MJ was the baddest dude alive

Now it’s a sad scene, waking up in a nightmare

Where everybody’s squabbling or living in despair, unaware

And bound to face the impact of our actions

It’s time to take it back because the worse about to happen

Only seen a fraction of mother earth’s capacity

Gotta save our children’s planet or it’s leaving them a tragic scene

[Chorus]

Contrived control

Think your money is really going to charity?

Unable to see through the insincerity

I suppose they’re rich and now they have the right to brag? No

Brainwashed, waving the American flag from a mast

It’s contrived control

Think your money is really going to charity?

Unable to see through the insincerity

I suppose they’re rich and now they have the right to brag? No

Brainwashed, waving the American flag from a mast that’s made of glass

[Verse 3: Isor One]

Conform is swarming to the already overcrowded population

Falling victim to deception of wealthy incorporations

A nation driven by political greed and lies, hoping you never open your eyes

Blind to the corruption

Sucked in at a young age

They prey upon your ignorance

Assign social security numbers and fingerprints

Branded like cattle under the thumb of the government

No matter how much money you’re making, they’re taking some of it

So I separate myself from all these corporate establishments…

Manipulating the planet’s inhabitants…

To work their fingers to the bone, left to linger all alone

I don’t need to be bothered

I’m better off on my own

No, I don’t want your bullshit products, marketing gimmicks or your lies

Money-hungry, bloodthirsty vampires in disguise

Behind closed doors, it’s the plans they devise

The things you would never see through a child’s eyes

[Chorus]

Contrived control

Think your money is really going to charity?

Unable to see through the insincerity

I suppose they’re rich and now they have the right to brag? No

Brainwashed, waving the American flag from a mast

It’s contrived control

Think your money is really going to charity?

Unable to see through the insincerity

I suppose they’re rich and now they have the right to brag? No

Brainwashed, waving the American flag from a mast that’s made of glass
