[Intro: The Knife by Genesis]
Stand up and fight, for you know we are right
We must strike at the lies that have spread like disease through our minds
Some of you are going to die
Martyrs of course to the freedom that I shall provide
[Verse 1: Slaine]
It’s mind control, they’ve stolen my mind
I used to have the mind of a revolutionary now it’s dead
Cause the Devil got these images that’s dancing in my head
If I don’t take these pills then I can’t get out of bed
And I gotta pay the bills so I gotta take my meds
That’s what the voice says, it was never there before
It was another voice that’s telling me you’re a father, you’re a husband
The argument is hard to win, it leads to more discussion
Every other thought is rushing like it’s fucking water busting
I’ve been sleeping with the TV cause I left it on
Pass out from the Xani bars licking chicken szechuan
Broken fingers figure shit I think it must’ve kept em gone
Otherwise I’m like a ticking effin bomb weapon drawn
Pacing 'round the floor freaking every creak I’m stepping on
Thought I heard the cops coming no I must’ve guessed it wrong
Flip the stations all around, nothing but deception on
I don’t know what’s real or not, here on planet methadone
[Verse 2: Trademarc]
Look I’ve never been mistaken for the social type
Overnight mix and match meds and get the potion right
Name it, I take it, I took it, I baked it, cooked it and ate it
Like God made it 'till I’m crooked
Psycho pharmaceuticals rebooted my brain
My death is stained by whatever’s fun, the proof in my veins
So when I took it I stare at my reflection like it’s throwing threats in my direction
Now I look at life and cope like any addict
I'm an addict by candlelight
Every shade drawn, every day’s dawn good and gone as I write
You can bet it’s like street corner hustling
FDA muscle in funnelling cash into new epidemics
They usher in mass produced pain
Paranoia that they mask with their lawyers and brass
Next stop poisonous gas, chill the citizen’s strain
Chain smoke stacks burn us to ash
Stand up and fight, for you know we are right
We must strike at the lies that have spread like disease through our minds
Some of you are going to die
Martyrs of course to the freedom that I shall provide
