Eyedea, Slug - A Wake lyrics

The leader of the drug culture's
The leader of the country
The root of all evils buried
Deep within the money
Society's a machine a puppet
With invisible strings
While we dream the eye in the pyramid sings
The wings we're born with were quickly
Clipped to fit the form
We're kept warm and senseless
Your shepherd's relentless
Every genius was considered a
Madman in his time
From Jesus all the way down
The line to Einstein
And people are so naive to believe
They chose their frame of mind
You're conditioned so you don't revolt
While the plan is in the prime
That's why things like alcohol were designed
I'm not paranoid
You're just blind and that's fine
If you never wanna find out
Who invented the game
And told you can only use
Twelve percent of your brain
Nowadays if you believe in
Aliens you're perfectly sane
But a century ago a thought like
That would get you chained
At it's beck and call
Let's set you all up against the wall
At it's will, will even kill or be still
My beating wrecking ball for his enjoyment
We'll toy with what you perceive
Till you not only get the
Point but till you believe

Burn the books, push the heroine
Assassinate the speaker
You need some dream sweetener!
But, I ain't asleep no more!
Throw the scientist in prison
Illegalize free thought
You need some dream sweetener!
But, I ain't asleep no more!
Burn the books, push the heroine
Assassinate the speaker
You need some dream sweetener!
But, I ain't asleep no more!
Throw the scientist in prison
Illegalize free thought
You need some dream sweetener!
Yo, but I ain't asleep

Why do you think marijuana's illegal?
Because it's green? Different? And
Not good for people? (No)
It's chemicals access a dormant
Circuit of consciousness
Which could potentially change the
Brains thought process
And why don't the government want you
To change the way you think?
Because if you thought about what they do
Then you might start a revolution
So their solution is to try
To stop it's circulation
Paying millions a year 'cause
They fear it's provocation
They did the same with peyote
Mushrooms and DMT
And prohibited scientists to
Experiment with LSD
They put Timothy Leary in prison
Because he used it
But the CIA secretly tested
It on college students
They stripped the product from the
Natives and the highly educated
Then put it on the black market
So the users would be aimless
With the right guidance
We could benefit from all of the above
But, if it's not there, it's just a drug
At the request of his greatness
We filled in all the negative spaces
With void stamps to stand on
Some hands-on experience
Stampede extravaganza cautionary gone
And heeded
By the majority of the uprooted seedlings

Burn the books, push the heroine
Assassinate the speaker
You need some dream sweetener!
But, I ain't asleep no more!
Throw the scientist in prison
Illegalize free thought
You need some dream sweetener!
But, I ain't asleep no more!
Burn the books, push the heroine
Assassinate the speaker
You need some dream sweetener!
But, I ain't asleep no more!
Throw the scientist in prison
Illegalize free thought
You need some dream sweetener!
But, I ain't asleep

At the emperors request
We've undressed all the children
Stripped the process of
The consciousness building
At the request of the emperor
We've ventured from the center of the thought
So we can package it and
Market it to be bought

Alcohol is proven to paralyze the mind
And what do you see advertised
On almost every billboard sign?
But wine ain't always the answer
So once upon a time
They flooded the streets with heroine
To stop the rise of the Black Panthers
They keep us doped up
And psychologically clamped
The projects are just a concentration camp
Don't say we can't kill the system
Now it's time to shoot
I'll turn my head inside out if I have to
To find the truth land of the free
And home of the Brave New World Order
Pour some more fluoride in your water
Land of the free as long as your freedom
Don't encourage freedom
And stifle the governments freedom
To minimalize your freedom
The leader of the drug cultures
The leader of the country
The root of all evils buried
Deep within the money
Back when I was asleep I didn't
Know the dreams were fake
But, you can't kill me, when I'm awake
(I'm awake)

('Cause, I ain't asleep no more)
(But, I ain't asleep no more)
('Cause, I ain't asleep no more)
(See, I ain't asleep no more)

Welcome! To the new arena! Nice to meet ya!
(I ain't asleep no more) rule number 1 is:
If you got something to say
You better shut up! (I ain't asleep no more)
Seldom will you even see the way we treat ya
(I ain't asleep no more)
Have a choke and a smile
And pick your nuts up
(But, I ain't asleep no more) well, welcome!
To the new arena! Nice to meet ya!
(But, I ain't asleep no more)
Rule number 1 is:
If you got something to say
You better shut up!
(But, I ain't asleep no more) seldom
Will you even see the way we treat ya
(But, I ain't asleep no more)
Have a choke and a smile
And pick your nuts up
(But, I ain't asleep no more) wake up
