Lyrics
I’m going to tell you, honey, what it’s about
And you’ll be cryin’ when I’m through
It’s hard to protest with a gun in your mouth, so
You do what they tell you to do
You think it’s different but it’s always the same
Isn’t America a dream?
They’ve got you thinking like a pawn in a game, but
Believe what you want to believe
You believe what you want to believe
You will believe what you want to believe
You think they’re crazy that you’re doin’ fine
Wait till they show you what you already know
You think I’m lazy I just like to unwind by the pool
While you keep me afloat
Cause I’m a fat cat baby and I don’t play nice
You just see what I want you to see
And you’re a puppet, motherfucker, I’m just pulling the strings
But you believe what you want to believe
You believe what you want to believe
You will believe what you want to believe
You think it’s freedom if you don’t see the chains
But they’re rattling around in your brain
You believe what you want to believe
You will believe what you want to believe
