lyrics

Global Laboratory
Written by Jeremy Betterley

sometimes I think about impossibilities
and sometimes I think about what they mean for you and me
Because we're powerless deviants guilty of free speech
And I can't talk louder than the Heartland Institute and the fools they put on tv

sell out your opinions, it's what you've always done
It's not your fault, afterall you're just as
Powerless as me
Powerful as me

Obedience afterall is what it takes to succeed
Make the grade and know your palce before its taken by a machine
Because we're components on assembly lines, with maximized efficiency
Free will is an afterthought in this
New society

The system rewards those who question it the least
While we keep our heads in goings on our reward is sanity
But we cover the earth in pesticides and we plant genetic modified seeds
I'm feeling more like a test subject in this
Global laboratory
