lyrics

System of Control
(Minister)

Life is sometimes bittersweet
And sometimes life tastes mild
As days turn into weekends
The minutes turn to hours

Fly along a golden sunset
To chase reality
Find truth it lies inside of you
And it lies inside of me

They say all that you have to do
Is open up and smile
Friends, I know the right and wrong
And that is part of the lie
There’s A System Of Control
There’s A System Of Control

Death is often seen as something
That’s dirty or obscene
But I don’t seem to think so- Do you?
It’s natural as natural can be

Everyday the people tell me
To get some self control
But government messed with education
Then religion stole my soul

They say all that you have to do
Is open up and smile
Friends, I know the right and wrong
And that is part of the lie
There’s A System Of Control
There’s A System Of Control

The CIA
The FBI
The DOD
The DEA

That’s the American Way
That’s the American Way

The IRS
The FCC
THE EPA
THE NRA

That’s the American Way
That’s the American Way
That’s the American Way
That’s the USA
That’s a System of Control
System Of Control
There’s A System Of Control

There’s A System of Control
There’s A System of Control
