lyrics

A century of lies and crimes, with T.V. shows to fog our minds.
There is a fact that we must face, somethings wrong with the human race.

I have opened my eyes.
I can see the truth surrounding my mind.
Getting ahead just to fall behind,
Part of the plan to keep us in line.

World leaders threaten nuclear war, realize we are the pawns on the board.
System disabled and thoroughly worn, tension is rising it’s a bomb at your door.

I have opened my eyes.
I can see the truth surrounding my mind.
Getting ahead just to fall behind,
Part of the plan to keep us in line.

A new breed of man is born, unseat the throne of our overlords
Weary eyes watch us from the sky, questioning our motives why
Beyond lost, circuits crossed, denial dies keep breaking the laws
Technology has brought us this far, when will we know who we truly are.

I have opened my eyes.
I can see the truth surrounding my mind.
Getting ahead just to fall behind,
Part of the plan to keep us in line.

Open my eyes.
I can see the truth surrounding my mind.
We’re falling behind.
Part of the plan to keep us in line.
