Lyrics
"Brainwashed, how much it cost to buy your deep thoughts?
Questioning the cost of buying into mainstream thoughts and ideologies.
Your dreams are drippin' need a washcloth
Describing dreams as messy, needing cleansing, possibly from societal influences.
Clean up your mind we breed a new crop, exit through the gift shop
Advocating for mental cleansing to create a new mindset, referencing consumerism ("gift shop").
Selling anxieties, your privacy and memories you forgot,
Criticizing the sale of anxieties, privacy, and forgotten memories.
This nervous system overload make my neurons fire off!
Expressing the impact of information overload on the nervous system.
The secret to the recipe is what turns buy to bought
Highlighting the secret behind turning purchases into possessions.
Your health, your home, your brain, your vote, your soul and what your taught!
Listing aspects of life (health, home, etc.) influenced by external forces and teachings.
Your mind is a weapon now, your mind is a weapon now,
Empowering individuals to recognize their mind as a powerful tool and to be mindful of what they allow.
You decide what you will allow, Your mind is a weapon now,
-Your mind is a weapon now, You decide what you will allow,
-Your mind is a weapon now, Your mind is a weapon now!
-Stand your ground! Make me proud! We are the nation!
Encouraging unity and empowerment, emphasizing individual responsibility for the future.
You decide! Here and now! We are the nation!
-Whether the many or the few, yeah the future's up to you!
-We are the nation, we are the nation!
-Whether the many or the few, yeah the future's up to you!
-We are the nation, we are the nation! We are the nation!
-Like inception, they embeddin' all these thoughts into our brains
Warning against passive compliance with societal norms and rules, pointing out potential manipulation.
Second guessing, they suggestin' that you jump aboard their train
-Like a soldier in their army, need the names written on their sheets,
-Til the names turn into numbers, til it's just like counting sheep,
-And while you stand there idle, while your feet straddle that line,
-The depend on your compliance, it was part of the design,
-Their fuckin' with your rights, while they pass another rule,
-And your standing there distracted, now look who's acting the fool!
-Your mind is a weapon now, your mind is a weapon now,
Reiteration of the mind as a powerful weapon and the importance of individual choice.
You decide what you will allow, Your mind is a weapon now,
-Your mind is a weapon now, You decide what you will allow,
-Your mind is a weapon now, Your mind is a weapon now!
-Stand your ground! Make me proud! We are the nation!
Reaffirmation of unity and individual agency in shaping the future.
You decide! Here and now! We are the nation!
-Whether the many or the few, yeah the future's up to you!
-We are the nation, we are the nation!
-Whether the many or the few, yeah the future's up to you!
-We are the nation, we are the nation! We are the nation!
-Listen to the people, got to listen to the people!
Stressing the importance of listening to the people rather than blindly following flags or laws.
Listen to the people, got to listen to the people!
-Not a flag to wave, not a law or slave to your narration, we are the nation!
-Listen to the people, got to listen to the people!
Emphasizing the need to listen to the people for the chance to save the current generation.
Listen to the people, got to listen to the people!
-Not a flag to wave, got a chance to save this generation, we are the nation!
-We are the nation! Ugh!
-Whether the many or the few, yeah the future's up to you!
Repeated emphasis on the collective responsibility for the future and being the nation.
We are the nation, we are the nation!
-Whether the many or the few, yeah the future's up to you!
-We are the nation, we are the nation!
-Whether the many or the few, yeah the future's up to you!
-We are the nation, we are the nation!
-Whether the many or the few, yeah the future's up to you!
-We are the nation, we are the nation!
-We are the NATION! (repeat)
Final repetition of being the nation and the importance of listening to the people.
Listen to the people! Got to listen to the people! (repeat)"
