Conditioning

(album: Destroy What Destroys You - 1996)

Every day the brainwash trend
Repeating the words put into my head
Never thinking about what they mean
Monotone, like a damn machine
I stood in line, a single file
A uniform to fit the style
But my individuality
They could never take from me
Shown a cross and made to pray
Do exactly what they say
They told me it was the only way
Chant the same thing every day
I put my hand upon my chest
And say some words that were meaningless
But deep inside I always knew
Your system sucks and so do you

Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey!

(Conditioning)
Desensitized to almost everything
(Conditioning)
Conditioned to act without thinking
(Conditioning)
Desensitized to almost everything
(Conditioning)
Conditioned to act without thinking

Shown a cross and made to pray
Do exactly what they say
