Control And Resistance Lyrics - Singles - Watchtower

Music: White, Keyser 

Lyrics: White 

Human influence shapes human thought 

Few question, few answer, praising innovation 

Society seeking conformity 

Society thriving on regulation 

Observe and repeat, observe and repeat 

Maintain the standard 

Life is simulation, revision and impulse 

Absence through presence 

Still there is crime, still there is defiance 

Conscious and manner scream for diversion 

Controlled by confusion, confused by control 

Control and Resistance 

Control and Resistance 

Control and Resistance 

At an early age you were forced into submission 

By your elders and school administration 

By your peers you are pressed to Resist 

And pressed into rebellion and indecision 

Now you are food for the mental machine 

Breeding acts of ignorance and despair 

Men plotting their own demise 

Through oblivion, through greed, through hypocrisy 

Some of us are blind, some of us are frightened 

And some cynical 

Contradiction, revolution, controversy, centumacy 

Self-preservation and malevolence 

Feed the fear of death 

Law and resistance in accordance with uniformity 

In the thick of the fray 

Yet violence and change by privacy 

By freedom, we must Resist
