HYPNOTIZED
(Verse)
He’s talking loudly
He’s talking boldly
Who cares what he’s got to say
Everyone’s watching
It’s a big freak show
The great distraction can take your breath away
An incendiary stun gun
Aimed squarely at your common sense
The king of vanity and ill-informed convictions
(Chorus)
He’s got you hypnotized
Why don’t you realize
You cannot see him
He’s wearing a disguise
He’s got you hypnotized
He’s got you paralyzed
You’re struck by lightning
Don’t fall for all the lies
He’s got you
(Verse)
He’s got you riled up
His boastful pretense
He’s got a thing that you want
Why can’t you see that
He’s spitting in your face
Hypocrisy has won the day
You’re just too easy to taunt
Smug and conceited
You think you need it
The system’s cheated
Integrity defeated
(Chorus)
He’s got you hypnotized
Why don’t you realize
You cannot see him
He’s wearing a disguise
He’s got you hypnotized
He’s got you paralyzed
You’re struck by lightning
Don’t fall for all the lies
He’s got you
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
He’s got you
Watch out he’s got you
(Bridge)
He’s messing with your head
Oh don’t you fall for it
How could it ever come to this
He’s got you
It’s all a sham
Synthetic hot air
Emotions couldn’t be less sincere
You need to wake up
Need to wake up, need to wake up
You need to wake up brother
Hypocrisy to the power of three
And all the words are so phony
You need to wake up
Need to wake up, need to wake up
You need to wake up
(Chorus)
He’s got you hypnotized
Why don’t you realize
You cannot see him
He’s wearing a disguise
He’s got you hypnotized
He’s got you paralyzed
You’re struck by lightning
Don’t fall for all the lies
(Better believe he’s got you)
Misleading you to think
(Gotta watch out he’s got you)
That you must be afraid
(You gotta know he’s got you)
Imaginary danger
Watch out for his charade
(Better believe he’s got you)
Will strike the fear in you
(Gotta watch out he’s got you)
And make you agonize
(You gotta know he’s got you)
You cannot think straight
You must open your eyes
He’s got you
He’s got you
He’s got you
He’s got you
He’s got you
He’s got you
He’s got you
He’s got you hypnotized
Afraid and terrorized
Plugged in the matrix
Your soul will be his prize
He’s got you hypnotized
He’s got you
He’s got you paralyzed
He’s got you
He’s got you terrorized
He’s got you
You must see through the lies
(He’s got you hypnotized)
