Ground Control Lyrics - Threshold

Where do you go where do you go for external forces 

Your body wakes but never waits to restore resources 

Do you believe in what you do or is it just for money 

So if the world all does the same no wonder things are funny 

Just when you thought that you were building on a rock 

You find you've dug yourself a hole 

And you'll be facing such a futuristic shock 

When ground control slips away from you 

Ground control slips away 

How can you face the future 

Do you create and generate to build a land of plenty 

Or do you misappropriate until the world is empty 

Do you despise and criticise with no absolution 

Or do you stop to analyse to find a new solution

Just when you thought that you were building on a rock 

You find you've dug yourself a hole 

And you'll be facing such a futuristic shock 

When ground control slips away from you 

Ground control slips away 

They're cutting up the world we know 

For reasons they're ashamed to show 

And all we love will have to go 

They're storming us without a war 

Extending force until we fall 

While we lie back and take it all 

And everything our fathers made 

And everything they fought to save 

Is trampled under this parade 

And nothing's going to stop them now 

Their policy will know no bounds 

As soon as they control the ground 

Photos 

Under the flag of liberty you'll find corruption lurking 

It's our responsibility to keep the system working 

Just when you thought that you were building on a rock 

You find you've dug yourself a hole 

And you'll be facing such a futuristic shock 

When ground control slips away from you 

Ground control slips away
