lyrics

Saved The Day
I know how it feels, it feels in my reality
I know how it looks, how it looks to be free
I know what it’s like, it’s like in your theory
Of truth
I know who to fear, the media keeps telling me
I know who to hate, the TV keeps on showing me
I know how to stay safe, in this land of justice
And peace
I know what to think, I hear what you’re saying to me
I know what you say should be, that much is plain to see
I know what I would like, but when can I see
Some proof

Insanity, depravity, trusting isn’t easy in this world for me
I’m looking for the answers all of the time, Nothing seems sane, it’s all on my mind
Lying is so easy, it’s all in your game, it’s driving me crazy, driving me insane
Now I need the answers, I can see you
I can see you, I can see you

I want see, want to hear, want to feel, want it to be real
To be real, to be real

I know what you want, what it is you want from me
Subservient obedience, total dependency
I know your game, know what it is you play
You break the rules
Your game of control, to manipulate reality
Your thirst for power, power over all you see
Your greed, your malice,
Your inhumanity
Orwell said it right, right back in 1948
Tell me this week, who is it that we should hate
Oceania? Eurasia? Eastasia?
Or is it just me
