Brainwashed - Live at Carnegie Hall

Lyrics

You look like a real human being
 But you don't have a mind of your own
 Yeah, you can talk, you can breathe
 You can work, you can stitch, you can sew
 But you're brainwashed
 Yes you are, yes you are
 Get down on your knees
 You've got a job and a house
 And a wife, and your kids and a car
 Yeah, you're conditioned to be
 What they want you to be
 And be happy to be where you are
 Yes you are
 Get down on your knees
 Get down on your knees
 The aristocrats and bureaucrats
 Are dirty rats
 For making you what you are
 They're up there and you re down here
 You're on the ground and they're up with the stars
 All your life they've kicked you around and pushed you around
 Till you can't take any more
 To them you're just a speck of dirt
 But you don't want to get up off the floor
 Mister you're just brainwashed
 They give you social security
 Tax saving benefits that grow at maturity
 Yeah, you're conditioned to be
 What they want you to be
 And to do what they want you to
 Yes you are, yes you are
 Get down on your knees
