Against Me! - This Is Control lyrics

I can envision your perfect nation
Your plan to sedate intellectual pacification
I have to believe that there's more than this
The truth in my hands, that I am not sick

I don't live in sin, that this
Is all wrong, the reality prison
Dreams of human liberation
Beating a dead horse with fear in your eyes
Accepted a battle with a war in mind
Singled out the target
Big brother in the rifle sights
So you shoot to kill, death just
To feel, thunder to fear
Rain to know tears hide in the
Image the armor of cowards
Hidden in vices just to deal
Your elitist faction fueling the flames

In wonder of this revolutionary standstill
Lifestyle choices, never in struggle?
Short sighted goals, this is not freedom
This is control! The prisoner
Plotting his escape
Exclusive anarchy a joke in bad taste
Did you offer solution is that why he turned
His head, or insult his
Ignorance, in experience, blindness
You cry for the satisfaction
Before you put in
The work, accept possibilities as a dream
What the fuck's the fuss for?

Is this sincerity or is this a joke?
