The shadowed wasteland of indemnity Puffs the impure breaths of humanity Ankles chained in the unsighted procession As the eye of control is claimed as possession Shackled in a room of censored walls The foaming mouth bleeds ganda falls Sacrificing the lambs of indigence In the name of the capitalist power alliance The cancerous escape raises a deceptive coat On foot across razor wire clenched by the throat As the furnace of power radiates The glaring chide regenerates Lambs on the battlefield for their birthright Stagger over the same line that fell so tight Ransom held for the philosophy of the womb Its penitentiary in the imperial tomb A rebel with no cause Is a rebel of no threat Just as a martyr unseen Is a martyr of no effect Those who control the present now Control the future now Yeah those who control the present now Control our future now **** those who control the present now They won't control my future now |
