As the sun comes up and clears the fog
I can see the cracked promise and the cracked once was
of this urban sprawl
But the sun’s only literal and I can only just see
and the fog will be back to cover even me and oh I will be
Blinded by the lies of the media and
deafened by the drone of your pop culture
the tasteless exploitation of those in need
and the overwhelming stench of your rotting brains
add to that the fact that we’ve all gone numb
a bunch of fuckin junkies
on a dead end run
you may feel the same as me
but oh can’t you see
You’ve been beaten senseless by society
and your freedoms thoughts and actions have been suppressed
You’ve been beaten senseless, You’ve been beaten senseless
You’ve been beaten senseless by society
Now that the false promise has filled your eyes
and your ears are blocked by that deafening noise
do you have a chance at all... no
You might think yes and you might try
but as you get old your ideals will die
like the youth before
Beaten by confusion and a thousand views
pulled in ten directions by those around you
tested by institutions that will teach you there solutions
paid for by a system that can’t afford to let you see
that everything you think that you know at all
has been written or approved by those in charge
of your house, your job and your school
and your food no don’t be fooled
You’ve been beaten senseless by society
and your freedoms thoughts and actions have been suppressed
You’ve been beaten senseless, You’ve been beaten senseless
You’ve been beaten senseless by society
Beaten by confusion and a thousand views
pulled in ten directions by those around you
tested by institutions that will teach you there solutions
paid for by a system that can’t afford to let you see
that everything you think that you know at all
has been written or approved by those in charge
of your house, your job and your school
and your food no don’t be fooled
You’ve been beaten senseless by society
and your freedoms thoughts and actions have been suppressed
You’ve been beaten senseless, You’ve been beaten senseless
You’ve been beaten senseless by society
