Happiness In Slavery

Slave screams
He thinks he knows what he wants
Slave screams
He thinks he has something to say
Slave screams
He hears, but doesn't want to listen
Slave screams
He's being beaten into submission
Don't open your eyes, you won't like what you see
The devils of truth steal the souls of the free
Don't open your eyes, take it from me
I have found, you can find
Happiness in slavery
Happiness in slavery
Slave screams
He spends his life learning conformity
Slave screams
He claims he has his own identity
Slave screams
He's going to cause the system to fall
Slave screams
But he's glad to be chained to that wall
Don't open your eyes, you won't like what you see
The blind have been blessed with security
Don't open your eyes, take it from me
I have found, you can find
Happiness in slavery
Happiness in slavery
Happiness in slavery
Happiness in slavery
Happiness
I don't know what I am I don't know where I've been
Human junk just words and so much skin
Stick my hands through the cage of this endless routine
Just some flesh caught in this big broken machine
Happiness in slavery
