Who's in Control
Do you run your own life?
Are you in control?
Can you think for yourself
Or only do what you are told?
Do you follow your friends'
Political beliefs?
Do you have to accept it
For the image that you keep?
Politicians, soldiers, whoever's in command,
Without us there is no power in their hands.
They're using us for their own aims,
Can't you understand?
Their lust for power could destroy this land.
Do you head their promises?
Do you listen to their words?
Do you find them honest
Or find them absurd?
Do they spur you to hatred
For the opposite side?
Do you remember their failures?
Do you remember their lies?
Do you think that they're martyrs?
Will they die for your cause?
When they're playing their war games,
Are you only their pawns?
Can you forfeit your image?
Can you open your eyes?
Can you shake off your apathy and rise?
Can you fight for your lives?
Are you in control?
Can you think for yourself
Or only do what you are told?
Do you follow your friends'
Political beliefs?
Do you have to accept it
For the image that you keep?
Politicians, soldiers, whoever's in command,
Without us there is no power in their hands.
They're using us for their own aims,
Can't you understand?
Their lust for power could destroy this land.
Do you head their promises?
Do you listen to their words?
Do you find them honest
Or find them absurd?
Do they spur you to hatred
For the opposite side?
Do you remember their failures?
Do you remember their lies?
Do you think that they're martyrs?
Will they die for your cause?
When they're playing their war games,
Are you only their pawns?
Can you forfeit your image?
Can you open your eyes?
Can you shake off your apathy and rise?
Can you fight for your lives?
