Slaves to a Lie

Follow the rules, do as your told Stay in line or you will not succeed Keep the status quo, and if you do You will be rewarded, you will be rich Ignore the tightening noose, ignore the screaming outside Just shut up and take it for the sake of the American dream March to the beat of the drum they play It’s dangerous to think for yourself After all there’s nothing you can do Except to be a slave to the lie Buy the things their holy men tell you To appease the Gods they speak for Pushing on towards heaven Through the slaughterhouse gates Ignore the tightening noose, ignore the screaming outside Just shut up and take it for the sake of the American dream March to the beat of the drum they play It’s dangerous to think for yourself After all there’s nothing you can do Except to be a slave to the lie
