Congress runs your daily life, but they brainwash you so you think it's freedom
We've had a war every 20 years, they make you think we really need 'em
We're all slaves for our stricter masters
We're all slaves for our stricter masters
We're all just slaves for our stricter masters
We're slaves
You're brought up thinking it's bad to live in any country except this one
And when you grow into a man you realize it ain't too much fun
We're in a country of democracy, it's supposed to be the best on the globe
Living's expensive and it ain't too fun unless you form a high-class mode
And we're all just slaves for ournstricter masters
We're all slaves for our stricter masters
We're all slaves for our stricter masters
We're slaves
And we're all just slaves for our stricter masters, we're slaves!

I actually think the song speaks for it self huh?
How the US government has there corrupt ways to make the US people think there way and also it says pretty clear " they brainwash you so you think it's freedom" and that speaks alot to me...just look at some streets around in USA and you will see....I also think that they try to tell how the government tries to hide the bad things in war. 02/25/2008 at 19:57

This song is about people's willful ignorance that makes them believe whatever the system tells them is true, is true. They let the establishment think for them so they don't have to. "congress runs your daily life but they brainwash you so yo think it's freedom." The system monitors everything you do, but they make you believe it's 'right thing.'
