Chains On Our Minds

Intro

They call it psy-ops when it’s aimed at home…

Lord, open our eyes.

Verse

Sittin’ on the porch, starin’ at the screen,

Feedin’ us stories we ain’t never seen.

Fear in the headlines, anger in the news,

Dividin’ old friends over different views.

They say “trust the science,” “let me make it clear,”

While hidin’ the truth we all need to hear.

Short attention spans in this land of the free,

One twisted line changes what we believe.

Chorus

Oh, we’re the land of the brave, home of the free,

But chains on our minds that we can’t even see.

Power and money pullin’ every string,

Guilt and shame makin’ the freedom bell ring hollow.

Wake up, America, stand tall again,

United as one, not fightin’ their game.

We the people hold the cards in our hand,

Time to take back this promised land.

Verse

Experts on the stage with scripted lines to read,

Plantin’ little seeds of doubt in what we need.

Silence the voices that dare to disagree,

Call ‘em uninformed, too dumb to see.

From the marketing lies to the tales they spin,

Psychological warfare wearin’ us thin.

Brother against brother, neighbor ’gainst friend,

No winners in battles that never end.

Chorus

Oh, we’re the land of the brave, home of the free,

But chains on our minds that we can’t even see.

Power and money pullin’ every string,

Guilt and shame makin’ the freedom bell ring hollow.

Wake up, America, stand tall again,

United as one, not fightin’ their game.

We the people hold the cards in our hand,

Time to take back this promised land.

Bridge

The military swore to guard us all,

From enemies foreign and down the hall.

But Lord be careful who they call the foe,

Might be you or me if the truth starts to show.

Outro

Open up your eyes, break the spell tonight,

We the people gonna stand and fight…

With hearts united in the morning light.
