What's with your head?
Controlled, dumbed down
Since your life began
They play us like fools
We sell out to be in
A "bread and circus" game

They dumbed us down and slowly...

Changed our thoughts
Now we believe in nothing
But never-ending wars
In which we're all gonna lose

What's going on, you're sedated again?
Already wasted half your life
Stone cold hearted and arrogant
They teach "Ignorance is bliss"

They dumbed us down and slowly...

Changed our thoughts
Now we believe in nothing
But never-ending wars
In which we're all gonna lose

Now I lay me down to rest
But I can't get no sleep
It's getting late, you still won't listen
I'd better stay awake

They dumbed us down and slowly...

Changed our thoughts
Now we believe in nothing
But never-ending wars
In which we're all gonna lose (ourselves)
