just can't tell

Just can't tell


How is it you refuse to see?
The truth staring at you plain as can be
Grabbing you hard by the lapels
Shaking you good, but just can't tell
That ya...

Don't understand what’s going on
Power has its addicts just like crack cocaine
Taking advantage of our better nature
Pulling the wool, they put you in chains,
but you just can't tell
That ya...

Lost touch with reality man!
Thinking slavery sets you free getting
Getting down with a deadly sin
Like lying in bed with your closest kin
Shame on you!

Man, chains don't have to be physical
The truth won't be rolled into a sound bite
Ya can't live the good life all whimsical
They laughingly cast you as a fool all right
When you've...

Been taught there is no right or wrong
Never been taught to stand on your own
You think that's what you're doing
But you just can't tell...
Cause you've been told life's a living hell
And is it...

Love or hate that makes you dependent
Dumbed-down and a victim intended
Could it be you ignorantly?
Put your trust into the enemy
