Planting Seeds

lyrics

So easily you grow
green shoots that
become vines around our necks
with thorns dug in our soul
then your Trojan horse succeeds
and all its lies then sprint freely from our mouths
disguised as our thoughts
and there's nothing we can do
to stop ourselves
from becoming all that you would like us to be.

And we're like rats just chucking our cash
at a deceitful yet elusive serpent,
pied piping merchant,
that's flogging us all these golden fixes
to problems that just never existed

so you just take control
the candy is our minds
and we're like babies
and its so easy to steal allegiance
take control
the candy is our minds
and we're like babies
and its so easy to steal allegiance

And so our self-esteem
is measured by how much distance is in between
the reality and dream of who we would like to be
and it's quite clear this will never be achieved
then resentment sets in
so society divides
the haves and have-nots
line up on different sides
with the have-nots boxed in
and then the ad men
tap into deep wells
of misery beneath the surface
that they made on purpose
by flogging us all these golden fixes
to problems that they brought to existence

so you just take control
the candy is our minds
and we're like babies
and its so easy to steal allegiance
take control
the candy is our minds
and we're like babies
and its so easy to steal allegiance

now you just take control x 4

so you just take control
the candy is our minds
and we're like babies
and its so easy to steal allegiance
take control
the candy is our minds
and we're like babies
and its so easy to steal allegiance x 2
