lyrics

Compromise to fit in the fools
Your life by someone else's rules
Empathize, but only when they say
You'll trade yourself to play their game

Mind control, free thought is cast aside
Sheltered by a hollow sense of pride
Brainwashed, forget all you have learned
All follow the wisdom of the herd

Remembering the way you used to be
A time when your mind and thoughts were free
Dignity has long since been replaced
And swallowed by shame and disgrace

Fall in line
Insubordination will be countered with exile
Live the lie
Open minds confined and executed without trial

Servitude
You'll never make it if you cannot learn to follow others
Subliminal slavery
Denial leaves you blind to the life you left behind

Close your eyes
Judge the free, tell them all they ought to be
Release your mind
The shame you feel within is just the price of fitting in

Servitude
You'll never make it if you cannot learn to follow others
Subliminal slavery
Denial leaves you blind to the life you left behind

Fall in line
Insubordination will be countered with exile
Live the lie
Open minds confined and executed without trial

Compromise
Fall in line and live the lie
Subliminal slavery
Close your eyes and release your mind
