The Powers That Be

Face to face Face the facts Get your strings off of my back Controlling me Force to see Your twisted ways I turn away But not to die I want to live Out of your light Blinding fright Casting shadows like dead of night I scream aloud But no one hears A call to arms falls on deaf ears The dumbing down of society Has bypass me But played on their fears Till the paths not clear Back to the sight we hold dear To envision a world not ruled by hate And run by those who shed no tears
