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
