Hook: Are we brainwashed? Brainwashed, Brainwashed, Told to be what they want us to be so we are: Brainwashed, Brainwashed, Told to do what they want us to do so we are brainwashed

On one of those days, I came across the line in the sand, I could’ve been them, Pressured to play the role, Follow the flock in macho mode, I followed no shadow and strolled on my own, Footsteps took me, In destinies direction, Directly to self expression, A beautiful blessin, I was awoken, I saw and recorded, Used thoughts to load the flow gun, Philosophical poet, Moseying down meditation in memories homeland, Eyes baptized, I recognized, the mechanized, Society hell, Clenched onto its citizens, With red and white blue blood tricklin, From its inflicted cuts, Tangled in the brains, of the slightly sane, You can beat the system in this poison prison, If you just sign the dotted line, Buy what we supply, Apply to 9 to 5s, Smile cause we all,
Hook: Brainwashed, Brainwashed, Told to do what they want us to do, So we are brainwashed, Brainwashed, Are we just lab rats inside this maze?

I could never understand it, and Im tryin to pull my mental through it, How could we the people follow in the footsteps of the rubble ruins, Every society died that tried to break and deprive, the people of freedom in life, Feeding them lies the greediest kinds, Starve others to fill their stomachs, Drown dreams in dollars and rubbish, Its all a scheme to keep us in comfort, Dumb the flock down, Bathe birdbrains in waves of numb notions, Hypnotic hold on large crowds, Cant tap into original, Organics been cloned killin the real in you, The real in you! Were

Hook: Brainwashed, Brainwahsed, Slaves to the western ways drowning in fiction, Were brainwashed, Brainwahsed, Easily led into dead ends...

All is not hopeless, All options aren’t folded on both ends, Hope lies in the willing, Whoever’s willing to put change in this system, Remain real to convictions, Ethics over addictions and urges, First come first serve is worthless, Were all children of earth so first we must merge, Celebrate creativity, Elevate via spirituality, Penetrate pop culture to pull something pure from a fallacy, Understanding over aggression, Reason over delusion, Solid honest over dissolution, Constant art maintained in movement, And you can, Quote me on this, The positive will outlive this negative existence, The choice is in us, Point to the sun and investigate the darkness, The heart is the start of logic, but mind forms what follows, Yeah mind forms what follows,The real...the real...the real...
Push yourself and never give up, Resist quittin, One man cant change the land, It takes a village, Follow heart, Don’t follow another, the worlds wicked, Pure persistence applied to vision equals limited limits, We aren’t androids, We are the resource, the recipe for reconstruction is in our hearts, Fuck the brainwashed, Take the chains off, Fuck the brainwashed, Take the chains off and rock on, rock on, rock on!
