Controlled existence, controlled existence

You only want what you’re trained to want
You only know what they want you to know
You only do what you’re allowed to do
And you can’t see what they’re doin’ to you

Controlled existence, controlled existence
You know they’re clouding your vision
Controlled existence, you got nothin’ to say
Best not complain, or they’ll blow you away

Don’t break the rules, don’t make a fuss
If you do, don’t you know you’ll be trussed up
And taken away, nothin’ to say
Never again to see the light of day

Controlled existence, controlled existence
You know they’re clouding your vision
Controlled existence, you got nothin’ to say
Best not complain or they’ll blow you away

You only feel what they want you to feel
Reality’s’ gone, the illusion is real
There’s nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Hear yourself screaming as you slowly die inside

Controlled existence, controlled existence
You know they’re clouding your vision
Controlled existence, you got nothin’ to say
Best not complain or they’ll blow you away

Controlled existence, controlled existence
Controlled existence, controlled existence
Controlled existence, controlled existence
Controlled existence, controlled existence
Controlled existence, controlled existence
