I could make you feel good or inspire you to dream

One of these influences can make a man succeed

But the other turns a man to a steed

A noble and elegant fiend being steered by a king

We heed to the crooks that they use to cull the sheep

We preen our fealty instead of standing up to lead

‘cause it’s easier to eat than to teach a man to feed

Now we're seeds used for spitting instead of sprouting a tree

So, SNEAK

I remember sitting in school

Never once did I ever find history cool

And that’s cruel

And I don’t mean to come off supercilious

But we would know the truth if such evils were on the syllabus

We’re young and in love, we want revolution desperately

We don’t know its essence but we’ve made it a necessity

‘cause they sold us the game with with the intellect sold separately

And now we are dependent on the seller, inseparably

They want to legislate your mental state

They won’t discriminate ‘cause

Every brain is pink inside this temple frame

It’s propaganda!

They call it 'proper grammar'

Look how they decorate the stage!

Give the props a gander!

The puppet master has a preference

So please show him gratitude

Speaking from this pallet of all palatable platitudes

The path of least resistance puts our thinkers on the battleground

And has our daddy proud, keeping just the cattle around

It’s a test of having freedom versus being slaves

The battle of reality versus the dreamscape

Hot versus cold and I’m trying to escape

But I’m on thin ice with these cheap skates

They want to scream REVOLUTION! without a sound plan

That’s a lot of cacophony from a really loud clan

Talk back you’re an outcast, join or get banned

But I can’t

You’ll bite the dust if you make me pound sand

Now ATTACK

Actions spoke louder than words

But acts turned to books and books turned to blurbs

Now the truth’s in the clouds submerged in a blur

And I can’t get it down if I can’t be heard

So I focus on promoting the values I love

In the hopes of inviting some friends from the foes

But you waste time vandalizing all that you loathe

And you turn those friends into foes you oppose

So I won’t say names

But I won’t play games

And I’ll know my place

But I won’t take blame

And I won’t make fun

But I must say something

That interests the public

So here goes nothing

Uh look

A politician's not your fiancée

And unless you want the government to subsidize a substance in your blood stream like some homeopathy

Delegate yourself to run the opposite of harm’s way

I'm an involuntary cog in the machine

The canary in the coalmine is topping the regime

They want you to look diversified but all think the same

I want you to live without these intellectual chains

So maybe take a step back on the line of defense

Let me pose the dichotomy of lying on the fence

They say open up your mind so they can sneak inside your heads

I say open up your eyes so you can see all of these threats!

Now SIEZE

I know the value of intelligence

I say this knowing 100% that I am irrelevant

And anything I’ve ever said is forever in question

That’s the blessing of a perfect truth beyond human conception

What ain't true in its essence

We make do in the present

Or all future endeavors are on you to amend it

We’ve got stupid obsessions

On dumb goofy aesthetics

And trend setters instead of

One congruent in message

We speak fluent in sentiment

Hating who ever questions it

The only thing you prove through aggression is more aggression

But you’ll call me a bigot if I speak up

Saying that we’re traitors for trading freedom for free stuff

It gives evil a prenup, when beholden to others

Dependence that you’d be ashamed to show to your mother

So don’t confuse your motives with emotional blunders

Whatever your revolution, you better know it you lover
