Control

Little man, little boy, little thing in blue
Boomerang back to you, pathological
What's lost is lost, what's won is won
But soon or late the time will come
And all of them? They'll all be done
A guard stands at the altar
And now control is total
A slave by the throat, despite the things they told you
A guard beside the womb
and now control is total
They alone own the law
Among the ones they run
You'll find you

You say give me danger and I will give you god
The will to kill is thorough still, here in the land of nod
"Community, identity, stability" for you and me

Little fascist, little nazi, little jesus too
Boomerang back to you, oh so logical
The dead are dead, those left will go
It's not hard to see what most don't know
Rivers of blood, for change to come
A guards hand is on your heart
and now control is total
Chaining capital and squeezing out the value
The guard is in your mind
And now your fucking totaled
All you see is what's perceived
And what you "know" you then believe

Spoil the child when you spare the rod
Now you're seeing double, now you're seeing god
Staring down the barrel
The gaping midnight maw
Sociopathic, phallic
Catch-all, a soul now barely mine
Walls and bars and guns and guards
All of my own design
