Chokehold – Content With Dying lyrics

It happens so slowly, it's happened to us
We just never quite realized what was happening
Little by little it was taking place right in front of our eyes
Because we didn't care, I mean we really don't care
So the great american dream
Has become a hideous american nightmare
Somewhere along this line we were stripped of identity
Creativity developed this sheep mentality
Of following everything cultureless
We are entertained by senseless sitcoms and infomercials
It angers me to see a nation
Reduced to a full scale game of follow the leader
They have us fooled reaching for the american dream
Trapped in the nine to five it's like swimming upstream
Do as they tell you free thought is bound to fail
We are dying and no one seems to care
To busy rushing to a go no-where career
You think you're free?
You just can't see the bars we're all in prison in these free countries of ours
You're not free you never were
You're not free you never were
You're not free you never were
Free of deadly comfort nine to five, free of a satellite disposal
Taught on a straight-up lie, taught to be content with dying, content with dying
Content with dying, content with dying, content with dying
