System Of Control

[Verse 1]
What if there was a way to control us
Can you give me a reason to live?
You can’t decide on what I want
Just because you know you’ve got me caught
Conscription, depiction, cast your vote
Watch for the rope that’s by your throat
Propaganda is waiting for you
Coming to derail you from the truth

[Chorus]
What if we were just cogs in a system
But we know the controller’s you
We don’t know if we can escape this
Can you tell me if I’m real?

[Verse 2]
What if you knew a way to keep me down
I thought I told you to stay out of town?
All you want is the control
Although it ain’t much power you hold
Didn’t I tell you to stay away
Or can’t you back away for another day?
You call it a solution
But I didn’t know you made the rules

[Chorus]
What if we were just cogs in a system
But we know the controller’s you
We don’t know if we can escape this
Can you tell me if I’m real?

[Chorus]
What if we were just cogs in a system
But we know the controller’s you
We don’t know if we can escape this
Can you tell me if I’m real?
