Lyrics
State Control
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
a nation in silence too frightened to run
the secret police got you under the gun
at the hint of dissension there's a mark
by your name now you're never alone just
a pawn in the game call it state
control destroy your mind you think you're safe
boy you're out of time we're all slaves
to subversion a trick of the trade the
ones in control are the ones getting paid
they're stealing your spirit and breaking your will
with polarized violence they'll train you to kill
