The Great Manipulator

Feel the lust, it's coming through, it's tearing through the skin,
You know it's there hiding, the animal within,
Feel the rage, it's coming through, it's tearing through the skin,
You know it's there hiding, the beast that's within,
Aaaaargh yes, it's the delinquent rage, trapped inside this orwellian cage,
Aaaaargh yes, it's the restless slave, trapped inside this imperial state.

It's the covert agenda, it's the great manipulator,
It's mass indoctrination, it's the dulling of a nation

You got me where you want me, trapped inside the state machine,
You got me where you want me, trapped inside the same routine,
You got me where you want me, you got me, you got me,
In a state of apathy, in a state of apathy.

You are the prison that i can't see,
Your walls are invisible but still they hold me,
Keeping me contained, keeping me restrained,
Keeping me deluded inside the cage,
You're invisible, you're insidious, you lurk beneath the surface,
Subterranean and underground, you're so dark, you're profound.

You got me where you want me, trapped inside the state machine,
You got me where you want me, trapped inside the same routine,
You got me where you want me, you got me, you got me,
In a state of apathy, in a state of apathy.

Hey, oppressor, you've done so well, keeping blind for so many years,
Keeping me ignorant, keeping me dumb, apathetic, detached and numb,
But now i can see your insidious monopoly, and how you shape my reality,
Coz the more i learn you, the more i oppose you,
The more i understand you, the more i hate you.

Now, now's the time to change,
Now, now i see your games,
Now, now's the time to change,
Now, now i see you.

You tell us that we're free in our state of apathy,
You tell us that we're free in our numb reality,
You tell us that we're free in our state of apathy,
You tell us that we're free but is it just a fallacy.

You got me where you want me, trapped inside the state machine,
You got me where you want me, trapped inside the same routine,
You got me where you want me, you got me, you got me,
In a state of apathy, in a state of apathy.
