Gift Of Gab - Brain Washers lyrics

[Hook] Tryin' man I'm tryin' lies and lies ain't buyin' Where do I go, where do I go? Tryin' yes I'm strivin' lies and lies ain't buyin' How does it go? [Blackalicious] Walk, to a time when minds was one Came into creation as itself, mankind was born Step into the eye of the storm, survive as pawn Casualties of evil men, slidin' the blinders on Lies will spawn, hey are you conscious what side you're on? Is the total story told or is it they hide you from? Why are we on the brink of murderin' more innocent Now it's like, we're patriotic and so militant Get ya ride on, rise on, take a look They done even takin' righteous laws, rewrote the books To benefit the prize they got they eyes on Minds run rampant, truth to be revealed when the proper time comes Brainwashers [Hook] Brainwashers It's when you think how they wanna think Speak how they wanna speak, Livin' in defeat When you don't wanna question what they teach, as the truth With no proof, with the fear of burnin' in eternal heat When you're programmed not to be your own man, but a sheep Bein' herded as they word it, so you thinkin' ain't free When you sleep in a deep sleep standin' on your feet When you're beat, makin' ends meet, while they in they seat Now your labeled obsolete, workin' for elite beasts In the heat on bare feet, smile showin' off your teeth Good grief, it's berserk how they work it And they jerk it while they serve us The surface keep the circus underneath The brainwashers [Hook] (several times) [Studio guy] You just keep playing. Can you bring that level up in my earphones? And you bring their level up in my chairs, cause I'm playing with sticks And I'm drowning 'em out, so if you can give them more of this Yeah, you can bring that in even more. Bring up Yeah. You guys play. Yeah, that's perfect [Other voice] Sounds of science [More voices] Kool'Aid Chemistry Arrow
