Stealin' Minds Lyrics

They're stealin' our minds

They're tellin' us lies

You got to open up your eyes

And take a look for yourself

The plastic that they feedin' ya

Ain't good for your health

They tell you one thing

But they sell you another

Wrap it in pretty paper

Like a gift from your mother

So I say stand up

To the world eating monsters

Amazon, Monsanto, Wal-Mart and Tesco

Exxon and Kraft and Coke and Sunoco

I say stand up

Yeah, I say stand up

To the powers that be

Because their money it talks

It speaks, it walks

It walks right up to the White House

Dinner with the members of Congress

Man you should have seen those

Greenbacks wine and dine

They turned smiles and diamond eyes

They brainwashed minds

And attached strings to their spine

So when they jerk

They're doin' their work

Come watch the puppet show kids

Everything you do

Everything you say has consequences

And every dollar spent

Should be a weight on your conscience

A trip to the store is an election

The candidates you buy are your selections

Everything you buy you support

So open up your eyes and do some work

We've lost our connection to the ground

We come into this world

Pre-packaged in plastic and bound

To this material world

That we're taught not to question

We're taught not to question

We're taught not to question

What we're readin' in the classroom

Chew it and swallow and smile

Be a good little automaton

The truth

An apology

History

Mythology

They tell ya to take it with a grain of salt

Man, I think I'm gettin' dehydrated

What happened to a good conversation

Our speech is colored by the television

Obscuring our vision

Our mission to our own self-actualization

Yeah the future can wait

Until after this next commercial break

Forget the weather man

Cause he be tellin' us lies

I can see with my eyes

What's fallin' from the skies

I thought I voted for change

I waited for somethin' to change

But the only thing that's changin' is the climate

Who's settin' the agenda

Who's feedin' you the menu

We got to take back our minds, our time

And I will write you a happier rhyme
