Don’t Let Them Control You
From the moment you start breathing
Till the day you close your eyes
You never stop believing, believing in their lies
You spend your lifetime working
But you can never pay taxes and inflation
That pile up everyday

And you got so many children
That you just can't support
There's no one you can turn to
You feel like you've been caught

But they tell you there's a heaven
Waiting just for you and living by the system
Is all you gotta do

Don't let them control you
Don't let them control you
Don't let them control you
Don't let them control you

They say the reds are coming. There's gonna be a war
But you've got no idea what you're fighting for
But you want to kill your brother
'Cause he believes a different thing
Take away religion and it wouldn't mean a thing
So come on get together let your love involve you
No matter what the weather
Ah, don't let them control you

Don't let them control you
Don't let them control you
Don't let them control you
Don't let them control you
