Divide and conquer-style foreign policy Paranoid-style pre-emptive strike Hollywood-style controlled demolition Global-fascist-State-style torturing Mass-Hypnosis-style terrorist warning Conspiracy label new excuse for not learning you just say nonsense son information dehydration is what you're suffering from yeah, nonsense son, what you're suffering from is information dehydration Workers are pawns in thier game of deception the media relies on our lack of attention span top-down Dumbing down CIA infiltrated feeding off fears lowest common denominator All-seeing-eye The so-called enlightened ones Heart chakras so fucked up they may as well be blind but you say (Chorus) Do you question this authority Do you investigate the tyranny Do you ever wonder how we benefit from misery well we just stay deluded in a bubble called the west and just keep getting sold that what we got is the best (Chorus) and so be a hardy roach in your approach to their rhetoric and take good care to always be committed to your betterment

about

LIFE
it ain't no dress rehearsal, ain;t no dummy test
no room for airbag failure
sometimes no time to take a rest
(LIFE IS NOT A TAKE)

LIFE
It ain't no overdub
No scored string section
no pitch corrected voice
no search for perfection

Just LIFE in all its maddening glory
its a heart-warming but sometimes a gory story
always a hand that's taking not giving
(LIFE IS NOT A TAKE)

the SUITS are making it hard for us to just make a living
- People of the world -

If they can log it, Kill it, mine it, milk it
they all want in
just make sure there's something left for the rest of life
(LIFE IS NOT A TAKE)

Do it now because there is no later
if its in a while crocodile, ill see you later alligator
you might be dreaming of the next life
(LIFE IS NOT A TAKE)

and if you want to be a yes-man
then take a good guess man
no matter where you are you'll always be living in the projects

It makes no sense
bring it down to ground
the answer to life is one thing and its called the now
it might help to know that it ain't eternal
it might help to know that it don't have to be infernal

Peace is an inside job (& so was nine-eleven)

Suddenly you're waking up to everything that you used to be asleep to
realising everything that you used to be a sheep to
LIFE IS NOT A TAKE !

DO YOU EVER FEEL YOU"RE BEING SOLD SOME CHEAP VERSION OF REALITY ??
LIFE IS NOT A TAKE ! ! !

WAKE UP to the UNSUPRESSED UNIVERSE !
