The road before you see it coming, everything is there A change is necessary, a better nation's in the air All around you vicious barracudas tearing out your back A sleazy manifesto feeds the revolution that you lack Dirty hands are itching, dirty eyes are glowing in your path Weasel minds are working, dreaming dollar signs that last and last Promising the sky chasing the ambulance of plastic life Smiling as they tie you down The deal is done, the rope is tight (Chorus) They light the fires inside your brain And what it is I can't explain You must believe in all you do That better days are coming soon So open up your very soul And lay it out, they will behold And if you do, you'll never be A slave to the system Speak in quips and phrases cryptic and distinguished heart and soul Now the backs are breaking, feel the pressure and do as you're told Crawling out of corporate vacuums now they've got you by the balls Just another blackhole for believers like yourself to fall (Chorus) Now the world is listening, tell them something that they may not know The minions and their grand delusions always come and go We're beaming down by satellite this guerilla warfare point of view Manipulate the monster before it brings a change in you (Chorus) We're all slaves Slave to the system We're all slaves Slave to the system
