Straightline Thinking Lyrics - Subhumans

We are all controlled by reinforcement or rules 

Passed by those who are merely the tools of a system 

Where achievement is based on deceit of the masses 

By someone in whom they believe 

We are all controlled by the straight-line thinking of straight-line thinkers 

Who gave up drinking and smoking to avoid being lower 

Than their aspirations would allow them to go 

We are all controlled by fear of the unknown 

Because we re not told all that there is to know 

About things we consider as normal existence 

So we accept exploitation and show no resistance 

We are all controlled in our thoughts and our actions 

By things we were told by past generations 

Of parents who used to rebel just the same as we do now so who gets the blame? 

We are the rebels like the rebels before us 

Pre-destined to scream in an out of tune 

Chorus of voices repeating the words of the past 

That diffuse in the process of ageing too fast 

Deep in the soul if there is one it tells you to do 

As you feel not as someone outside you dictates through their own misguided conception 

Of what part you must play in this game of deception
