Kinks - Brainwashed Lyrics
You look like a real human beingBut you dont have a mind of your ownYeah, you can talk, you can breatheYou can work, you can stitch, you can sewBut youre brainwashedYes you are, yes you areGet down on your kneesYouve got a job and a houseAnd a wife, and your kids and a carYeah, youre conditioned to beWhat they want you to beAnd be happy to be where you areYes you areGet down on your kneesGet down on your kneesThe aristocrats and bureaucratsAre dirty ratsFor making you what you areTheyre up there and you re down hereYoure on the ground and theyre up with the starsAll your life theyve kicked you around and pushed you aroundTill you cant take any moreTo them youre just a speck of dirtBut you dont want to get up off the floorMister youre just brainwashedThey give you social securityTax saving benefits that grow at maturityYeah, youre conditioned to beWhat they want you to beAnd to do what they want you toYes you are, yes you areGet down on your knees
