Head Lyrics by Otep

Smash the Control Machine

2009

In that final look
Does the deer forgive the wolf ?

You've stolen my fascination
You've amothered my holy addiction

And now I'm soaked in you
Like fat white worms or sad haikus

I woke up
& the worldwas on the fire

I woke up
& the swine had conspired

To erase all the faith
That I have in the human race

I woke up
& the world was on fire

It's all in your head
It's all in your head
They said I need to flee

Are they shepherds ?
Or are they sheep ?
Are we the butchers ?
Or are we meat ?

In this nest of lies
Living a life under siege
We sink in the stink
& I need my disease

It's all in your head
They said I need to flee
This neverending ordinary monarchy

Beneath the toxic water
Where my secrets come to meet
In catacombs of shadow
& wet skies of mystery

I found a soggy savior
A painted lady made of eyes
She sings to me, my deceit
"your life is a lie"

I woke up
& the world was on fire

I woke up
& the swine had conspired

To erase all the faith
That I have in the human race

I woke up
& the world
Was
On
Fire

It's all in your head
It's all in your head
They said I need to flee

Are they shepherds ?
Or are they sheep ?
Are we the butchers ?
Or are we meat ?

In this nest of lies
Living a life under siege
We sink in the stink
& I need my disease

It's all in your head
They said I need to flee
This neverending ordinary monarchy

If we stand too still
They're gonna eat us alive !

Watch your tongue
Teach them young...

Medicate the mutiny
Better living through chemistry
Self destruction's patriotic
Money fixes everything

Wach your tongue
Teach them young...

We're taught
To love & hate
To fight & obey...

I've lost my mind
But I've found my way

(in this nest of lies
Every wall has eyes)

It's all in your head
It's all in your head
They said I need to flee

Are they shepherds ?
Or are they sheep ?
Are we the butchers ?
Or are we meat ?

In this nest of lies
Living a life under siege
We sink in the stink
& I need my disease

It's all in your head
They said I need to flee
This neverending ordinary monarchy
