[Verse 1: Isor One]
Robots sit in front of the television, take it all in
Let mainstream commercialism seep into your skin
That’s what they’re selling you so they need you to buy in
‘cause without the consumer the empire is dying
Mass mind control is the objective goal
And just to make a profit, some would sell you their soul
So [?] to the system like you don’t have to pay rent
‘cause another commercial just means another dollar spent
It never relents, it stretches as far as the еye can see
And on this totem pole thеre is no one as high as me
The typical American view, pursue
The clouds I dive through from a bird’s eye view
Looking down upon you, I watch you spend mindless
We need a new plan of action, the key is defiance
Government is taking money from our check without asking
I don’t call that taxing, I call it a fucking jack

[Chorus]
Contrived control
Think your money is really going to charity?
Unable to see through the insincerity
I suppose they’re rich and now they have the right to brag? No
Brainwashed, waving the American flag from a mast

It’s contrived control
Think your money is really going to charity?
Unable to see through the insincerity
I suppose they’re rich and now they have the right to brag? No
Brainwashed, waving the American flag from a mast that’s made of glass
[Verse 2: guest feature]
Analyze the contrast between the past and future
Nothing’s built to last yet we continue to maneuver through the matrix we’ve created, this surreal landscape where a man is determined by how much money he makes
Remember in my younger years, it was less complex
Contact lists were kept upon your desk in a rolodex instead of a computer
We’ve become so digitized
Witness the earth fall off its axis
Seems to be a far cry
From the earth that bore me back in 1985, in the days when MJ was the baddest dude alive
Now it’s a sad scene, waking up in a nightmare
Where everybody’s squabbling or living in despair, unaware
And bound to face the impact of our actions
It’s time to take it back because the worse about to happen
Only seen a fraction of mother earth’s capacity
Gotta save our children’s planet or it’s leaving them a tragic scene

[Chorus]
Contrived control
Think your money is really going to charity?
Unable to see through the insincerity
I suppose they’re rich and now they have the right to brag? No
Brainwashed, waving the American flag from a mast

It’s contrived control
Think your money is really going to charity?
Unable to see through the insincerity
I suppose they’re rich and now they have the right to brag? No
Brainwashed, waving the American flag from a mast that’s made of glass
[Verse 3: Isor One]
Conform is swarming to the already overcrowded population
Falling victim to deception of wealthy incorporations
A nation driven by political greed and lies, hoping you never open your eyes
Blind to the corruption
Sucked in at a young age
They prey upon your ignorance
Assign social security numbers and fingerprints
Branded like cattle under the thumb of the government
No matter how much money you’re making, they’re taking some of it
So I separate myself from all these corporate establishments…
Manipulating the planet’s inhabitants…
To work their fingers to the bone, left to linger all alone
I don’t need to be bothered
I’m better off on my own
No, I don’t want your bullshit products, marketing gimmicks or your lies
Money-hungry, bloodthirsty vampires in disguise
Behind closed doors, it’s the plans they devise
The things you would never see through a child’s eyes

[Chorus]
Contrived control
Think your money is really going to charity?
Unable to see through the insincerity
I suppose they’re rich and now they have the right to brag? No
Brainwashed, waving the American flag from a mast
It’s contrived control
Think your money is really going to charity?
Unable to see through the insincerity
I suppose they’re rich and now they have the right to brag? No
Brainwashed, waving the American flag from a mast that’s made of glass
