Splinter Lyrics

You do not own my body

You'll never own my soul

I am not just another commodity

To fall under your control

I'll break free from the power of suggestion

I won't listen to what you say

You manipulate thought to dominate life

I watch it happen, it happens every day

I won't do what you tell me to do

I'm going to break

I won't say what you tell me to say

I'm breaking free

I won't think what you tell me to think

I'm going to break

I won't live how you want me to live

I'm breaking free

I can't believe most of what I see

I can't believe most of what I hear

I can't believe most of what I read

And you ask what is to fear?

Look beyond the surface...

That's is when I find

That they might take my strength for granted

But they will never, never take my mind

We are bombarded relentlessly by images and slogans representing lifeless,

Empty concepts... corporations are nothing more. Industry is tied into the

Government

Which in turn, is tied into the media. Is it any wonder that we find

Ourselves

Manipulated at every turn by new catch phrases and other psychological

Hooks

Designed to spend our money for us, think our thoughts for us, live our

Lives for us?

There is no escape. The contradictions are endless. Lost somewhere between

"Just Do It" and "Just Say No", a generation is crying out for mercy.
