The Big Picture — текст песни (Operation:cliff Clavin)

life ain`t nothing but a marketing scheme
and you`re just a part of the big machine
breakin` your back and a-wastin` your days
turnin` like a wheel in the factories
and you don`t even notice that
you`re not even fighting back
and you`re not sure what you should be fighting for
cause they`ve got you so sedated and intoxicated
that you can hardly even think anymore

now they`ve got us where they want us to be
everybody thinkin` that we`re so free
they made us be our worst enemies
the american dream is slavery
but you say atleast we`re not as bad
as those countries with their governments that shoot there people down in the streets
but i say they`re not as bad as this fucked up government we have
atleast they get a chance to know there enemies

and if you`re thinkin` someday maybe things might change
then you better stop listening to what they say!
if you ever plan on understanding what i mean
you can start by turning off your tv
cause a little bit more every day
our freedoms all get stripped away
untill one day they`re all gonna be gone
and we won`t even notice it
because they take them away an inch by inch
and one day we`ll all wonder what went wrong
