Operation Mind Control

A day of repetition, in this shadow factory
It doesn't look much like freedom to me
It's operation mind control
It's the battle for America's soul
It's operation mind control
Just try on this straight jacket, of conformity
While we force feed you propaganda, on the state tv
It's operation mind control
It's the battle for America's soul
It's operation mind control
It's the battle for America's soul
Your under 24 hour surveillance
By the satellite spies
We'll always be watched by
The all seeing eye
In God we Trust (What's the matter with youx2)[Behold a pale Horse!]
In God we Trust (What's the matter with youx2)[Behold Oblivion]
In God we Trust (What's the matter with you, this is mind control)
In God we Trust (You better get behind, get in line,)
It's death in repetition.
The shadow factory
Doesn't look much like living to me
It's operation mind control,
It's the battle for America's soul
It's operation mind control,
It's the battle for America's soul(rise up)
Now put on this straight jacket of conformity
Fault of a nation, that's brought biology(?)
It's operation mind control
It's the battle for America's soul
It's operation mind control
It's the battle for America's soul
