Today's Control

They tell you the way to think They tell you, you must conform How many secrets do they keep How many different suits have they worn They tell you their share of lies Pass it off as the whole truth Hope that you'll keep closed your eyes While they do the things they do Don't bother messing with the facts Facts only get in the way There's not a fool they haven't met Unconcerned with what you have to say Shut your mouth and pay your dues That is what they think of you Every thing will work out fine As long as you don't have a clue With fingers crossed behind their backs With lists made up of alibies As they tell you where you should be at Pointing to the dead end signs

Yep, as long as were doing the daily grind at work and paying our federal, state, medicare and social security taxes that is pretty much being controlled! At least when were dead we don't have to worry about being taxed to death (pun intended) anymore! (This is how I pay my dues)…Well written write Mike!~Che :)
