1st Verse:
Wake up in the morning didn`t really get rest,
but that gets less as soon as I m thinking of all the stress,
7 a.m. daily routine stuck in the traffic,
kind of hate my job but they say I got to be glad to have it,
so I do it, but I feel that its all an illusion,
but don`t get time, to question the products that I`m producing,
or the world that I`m viewing, since the monetary is ruling,
I got to keep moving, it`s winning or loosing,
caught up in this nightmare can`t escape it,
you don`t want to be stuck in the matrix,
remember the chain and remember the slave-ships,
you don`t know that? You don`t even know the basics,
take a look at that market places,
the more you know about it the more you hate it,
now it is time fort he world to face it,
so why`s everybody keep telling me that it ain`t so!
2nd Verse (Maniac):
It`s a daily hustle I´m taking the paper out, cause the paper`s out,
every last thing in the kitchen including the cake is out,
feel like it`s a prison-cell and I ain`t never breaking out,
pretty much that`s what the day`s about,
we are trying to get anywhere everywhere,
just somewhere far away as long as it ain`t heaven here,
creating illusions within us drinking seven beers,
telling us that things will get a little better every year,
asking for more economy-funds to get a share,
more enroll for warfare, rocking the guns and metal gear,
used to be beings of light, but ain`t nothing crystal clear,
now we believe in the fight, while we are stuck in mental fear,
looking for a few honest lady`s and gentlemen who care,
know about the hustle and I´m not afraid to shed a tear,
but I wipe it off cause I´m ready for whatever yeah,
I wipe it off cause I´m ready for whatever yeah!
Chorus:
Same hypnosis, everybody`s out to get the daily dosage,
same shit more stress, remaining hopeless,
we switching some phrases to brain-explosives to change the focus,
hypnosis, everybody`s out to get the daily dosage,
same shit more stress, remaining hopeless,
we switching some phrases to brain-explosives to change the focus,
everybody`s out to get the daily dosage,
same shit more stress, remaining hopeless,
we switching some phrases to brain-explosives to change the focus,
hypnosis, everybody`s out to get the daily dosage,
same shit more stress, remaining hopeless,
we switching some phrases to brain-explosives to change the focus!
