lyrics

You're not rising above the ground
The assholes will push you around
You're sunk in shit almost neck-deep

All the abuses that you condone
Will make you live like a drone
Now bite the pasture with the sheep

It takes a heart to help the weak ones
It takes a spine to stand up proud
It takes some guts to challenge power
It takes a brain to unveil the shroud

What does it take to obey?
To follow the finger that's pointing the way
What does it take? What does it take?
To be one whithin the dim flock where they prey

What does it take
To never consider to wander astray?
What does it take? What does it take?
To live without being awake

Masters reaping what you have sown
Mill your work under their stone
More bread and circus for the meek

This rotten system you won't upturn
If you do battle inside an urn
You see and hear but you can't speak

It takes a heart to help the weak ones
It takes a spine to stand up proud
It takes some guts to challenge power
It takes a brain to unveil the shroud

What does it take to obey?
To follow the finger that's pointing the way
What does it take? What does it take?
To be one whithin the dim flock where they prey

What does it take
To never consider to wander astray?
What does it take? What does it take?
To live without being awake

Decieved by the lies, they will make you work and die
Power to the idiots, thy lord you shan't defy
Climb onto the board just to be another pawn
Living on their rules, the Middle Ages dawn
... Again

Welcome to the real world

What does it take to obey?
To follow the finger that's pointing the way
What does it take? What does it take?
To be one whithin the dim flock where they prey

What does it take
To never consider to wander astray?
What does it take? What does it take?
To live without being awake

What does it take to obey?
To follow the finger that's pointing the way
What does it take? What does it take?
To be one whithin the dim flock where they prey

What does it take
To never consider to wander astray?
What does it take? To aid and obey
The Great Western Oligarchy?
