Imagine a life
controlled only by a system
built to make your world
tougher to handle

your freedom of choice
taken away
to a plain of ranks
and commanders

oh wake me
from a nightmare
of decades
the years go by
and your less of a man

the lies and the power
the gold and the crawler
the stripes and the prowler
the leach on your neck

a guitar on the beach
a player ran free
a mindstorm has just began

none is the controller
his madness broke lose
they tried to reach him
touch his clear mind
all was lost
in his oblivion

fix him up psyche
let the medication flow
a past combined
with the lack of independence
he is left to plead

hey commander
trust the insane
and deposit
your life in his hands

conditioned to meads
carnivore to sanity
unexpected, unaccepted
living in the cage
