johnny cypher - universal controller lyrics

[sound bites]
(if the world that we are forced to accept is false and nothing is true, then everything is possible)
(on the way to discovering what we love, we will find everything we hate, everything that blocks our path to what we desire)
(comfort will never be comfortable for those who seek what is not on the market)
(a systematic questioning of the idea of happiness)
(we’ll cut the vocal cords of every empowered speaker, we’ll yank the social symbols through the looking gl-ss with the values society’s currency)
(to confront the familiar, society is a fraud so complete and [?] that it demands to be destroyed beyond the power of memory to recall its existence)
(where there is fire, we will carry gasoline)
(to interrupt the continuum of everyday experience and all the normal expectations that go with it)
(to live as if something actually depended on one’s action)

[verse 1]
i hear the economy’s fake but you can work your way to the top
and there’s a kkk member that just turned out to be a cop
everyone is a whistleblower these days, left, right and center
‘cause we all do our best to point out an international agenda
i hear democracy’s failing but we’ve never really tried
not ready for the truth, but we’re sick of hearing lies
resources running out but the recession’s nearly over
if we can carry austerity over our shoulder
i hear the climate is changing but i don’t really hear a plan
nasa’s rockets are flying with no budget left to land
but if you still have a dream in your heart, whatever it is that you’ve been planning, now is the time to start
now is the time to start

but if that sounded cliched, right?

[verse 2]
listen, to my critics in ivory towers
don’t think for one second they think my lyrics have power
i just remember feeling powerless
lost in a hopeless hypnosis
locked in my mind
facing my own ferocious psychosis
and i know that it’s all just hocus pocus
i’m feeling locked and focused
don’t know if you’ve even noticed
i’m doing everything that i can to stop my own internal swarm of locusts
so before you come and offer up another diagnosis
please understand when i’m talking about having a dream in my heart, i’m tryna claw my way out if i free your depression
don’t get the wrong impression
not some inner fence in your direction on purpose
i’m doing this to feel better about myself
but if you can find it in you to see what it is i’m wrestling with, then back the f-ck off so i can keep on developing
i’m meddling with my reckoning, the results are unsettling enough without you threatening
you submit that you follow questioning, it’s deafening, i’m just saying
‘cause sometimes i wonder how long i would talk to you if you talked to me the way i did to myself
and i can’t be good for my health
don’t need [?] as well
i’m not pretending it’s h-ll
i think i’m built for this

i think i’m built for this
he thinks he’s built for this
i think i’m built for this
he thinks he’s built for this

i called my friend up, right?
and i asked him if he thought that i was wasting my time
i [?] bad for that
and he said, “mate, only you can answer that”
and he was right, i am my only witness
i am my only witness
and i guess under that umbrella of thinking what other people think of me is strictly none of my business

[verse 3]
back to the revolution
it’s not as if there is no alternative
i feel like intelligence has been removed from the conversation
there’s nothing more frustrating than watching the whole population involved in the devastation of neighboring nations
having devolved to debate immigration
it’s f-cking amazing
how we have taken the situation and then completely reframed it
and then of course we’ve claimed that above all of that
that somehow today opinions are just as important as fact
