Gizelle Smith - Better Remember (They're Controlling You)

They're controlling you
And the things you do
You're blinded by a media smoke screen
And your magazines
From the day we are born
This shit's been going on
And our souls have been compromised
By society lies

You better remember...

Do you remember?
Looking at the world with childish eyes
When your heart was so small, there was only room to carry love?
And your kindness flowed
Like a cup of liquid gold
But the hearts of men changed
Once they learnt what colour was

Hey, what happened to you
'Cause you got a sad point of view
'Cause now you hate
And you judge
And you criticise
Like a fool

Do you remember
Being only one foot tall
You had so much to question, though you couldn't talk at all
Curious mind
Brave enough to question why
But now you're following blind
You don't have the mind to mind

Well all that changed
When you went to school
'Cause they muted
Your voice
And they told you not to question
Their rules

They're controlling you
And the things you do
You drown in the opinion stream
From your TV screen
From the day we are born
This shit's been going on
And our souls have been compromised
By society lies

Do you remember
Gazing at the world with childish dreams
Your imagination wasn't scared of anything?
And your mind was wide
Like horizons of a thousand skies
So come on now
Take the rose-coloured splinters
From your eyes

'Cause now you'e grown
You just don't have time
So your dreams have been locked In a box
And the key
Is too hard to find
But the money ain't coming
Your word means nothing
So they take it away
They're controlling you
And the things you do
You're blinded by a media smoke screen
And your magazines
From the day we are born
This shit's been going on
And our souls have been compromised
By society lies

They're controlling you
And the things you do
You drown in the opinion stream
From your TV screen
From the day we are born
This shit's been going on
And our souls have been compromised
By society lies
They're controlling you
And the things you do
You drown in the opinion stream
From your TV screen
From the day we are born
This shit's been going on
And our souls have been compromised
By society lies

They're controlling you
And the things you do
You drown in the opinion stream
From your TV screen
From the day we are born
This shit's been going on
And our souls have been compromised
By society lies
