I'm going to tell you, honey, what it's about

And you'll be crying 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, oh

You think they're crazy that you're doing 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, oh

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, oh
