Shh, don't talk too loud.

You can't let the boss man hear.

Stay in line, don't step out of place.

Do what you're told to do.

You can't disobey those in charge.

You can't question the rules.

Following blindly like a lamb to the slaughter.

Your mind is not your own it belongs to them.

Taking turns with the community mind.

Blinded by their false reality.

your life is not your own.

Don't you dare look down now.

Dangling from the edge of this cliff.

They don't care for you.

They'll let you fall from grace.

Don't fight back against their will.
