Neurosis
Album • 1987
Your mind is restricted From years of obedience Thoughts are never your own Your mind is a trap loaded with crap [chorus] Who decided your life? not you Never had it in you to look inside And be you Living life in a safety belt Nothing inside anymore Never crossed the line Just content to whine Always pay the fine Mind by their design It's time to purge your brain No question at all They've constructed the wall But you had the bricks (ever increasing pressure fix) (pain of mind, sickness of heart) Pain of mind, sickness of heart.

How can we be so blind? Once we had a world Untainted land to toil our lives But then we... [chorus] Lost control Of our greed and need Lost control Now what have we got? Our world's a disease The germ is us Our minds have... [chorus] We taught our children Hate and love We taught our children To love, to hate Confined inside our minds Entangled in greed We search for unity [chorus]

To try to ake an order out of Muddled thoughts and dream - to Watch hope and desire torn Apart from the seams - construct A wall of hatred out of failures Crumbled ruins - to crawl with Bleeding fingers for the stones To be moved [chorus] In my dreams I witness terrors When I wake up they are true They're of pain and anguish Feelings I never knew To crawl through the maze of life And never find the door To stumble on the corpse of emotion Sprawled across the floor To stare blankly at one's image And then coldly turn away To realise I'm not the only one whose soul died today.

Sometimes I feel so far away Other times I think I need a change today Unwanted feelings of despair from inside And all I want is a place to hide [chorus] Sometimes it makes me really angry Other times it gets me really sad But every time it happens the only thing I see is... black, black, black, all I see is... I just want a little piece of mind Away from all my pressures and the daily grind I just want a place where I can be Away from all the things that trouble me [chorus] Could things be better at the end of the road? Or will the world outside still be cold? For the inner tranquility that I lack Turns everything i see black

All of us go through our lives And never stop to think for a second We products and impenetrable womb And seal our existence Still we wonder why our whole race is doomed And we do as we're told And we grow so cold And no one can say "why?"

How much truth can you take? Lies so pure Hidden eyes, victimized too secure You live your lies to suicide Content from fear Beaten down and kept in line Commit to sin Programmed mind, self-confined wall closed in Greed controls our lives Money kills Taught to think and act and lie Break the will

I woke up in the morning, spent the night in the trenches again The first thing i do is grab my gun The enemy is near, it was dangerous to sleep I was lucky to have lived to see the sun In a foreign land fighting for my country Over words that the politicians said I look and meet the eyes of an enemy soldier Aiming his gun at my head Stalemate... Panicked thoughts run through my mind Visions of my death unwind Standing there shaking in terror I clutch my gun in despair We look each other in the eyes Then we both realise that our roles are the same I put down my gun and he walks away.

Undermine the system that brings destruction (wake up and bury what's dead) Our lives are the cancer to their oppression (wake up and bury what's dead) [chorus] If you think the reason we are here Is to fight our brothers and sisters and lovers You must realize it's ourselves we fear Do you feel the tension in our land? (wake up and bury what's dead) From the hate zone to the high rise all built by man (wake up and bury what's dead) [chorus] Distrust authority The only rules are your own Spilling blood for a piece of dirt (wake up and bury what's dead) Shows what a human being is worth (wake up and bury what's dead) [chorus]

Follow the sheep As the wolf drives the sheep to slaughter Stand with the wolf As the sheep at each other Crumbling at the roots Fearing of the wolf Love your fellow sheep As you march straight in to death Follow the sheep to unity.

Christ died nailed to a cross (life on your knees, get down on your knees) Now he's an icon to the spineless mass (life on your knees, enforced reality) Bring your mind forth and submit (life on your knees, stay down on your knees) Just let him take you away (life on your knees, assume conformity) [chorus] Welcome to the world of your mindless life Away from the reality of your lifeless mind He was no better than the rest of us Crucified for doing what was right to him And you'll do no better, we're all slaves Let go now, look within [chorus] Break the chains on your mind Don't spend your life on your fucking knees The power is within yourself Take a hold of your life If you spend your life waiting for heaven You'll never get out of hell

Fighting against the way we've been conditioned Is the pain of life and mind The more we see the more we know The more we can't seem to find... [chorus] A way of living life free of control Without reality being such a fucking hole Where all we have to do is survive With no restrictions on our lives In this situation we're forced to hypocrisy We're made to set rules for ourselves Distrust is taught as a way of survival [chorus] (follow your heart, trust your head) We've got to accept that we're all alike Fascist is anarchist is life, one makes the other And the other is one Just reflections of black and white [chorus]
