Intricate Persuasion

+ Show full styles

Verse 1 They offer you answers before you can ask Neat little packages, sealed with a stamp Just swallow the story and spit the rest out They see the fear when the world starts to spin And they’ll place themselves closer with intricate persuasion Pre-Chorus You don’t need to wonder You don’t need to see Just trust the system It will think for thee Chorus Give us your questions, we’ll trade them for peace Give us your freedom, we’ll make the fear cease Stay in formation, keep your mind discreet This is the comfort you were taught to need Verse 2 They dress up control like it’s safety and care Build you a cage and call it welfare Every sharp corner gets filed down smooth Every real question gets quietly removed You were looking for truth in a world full of lies They gave you a slogan and comfortable with their distractions Pre-Chorus You don’t need to struggle You don’t need to fight Just follow the program It will make it all right Chorus Give us your questions, we’ll trade them for peace Give us your freedom, we’ll make the fear cease Stay in formation, keep your mind discreet This is the comfort you were taught to need Bridge Every flag, every pulpit, every office, every screen Offers the same deal behind different branding They all sell certainty to people drowning in gray Then charge you for the air while you float away Funny how the ones who promise protection Always seem to need your full submission Final Chorus Give us your questions… we’ll trade them for peace Give us your wondering… we’ll watch it decrease Stay small, stay quiet, stay easy to lead This is the comfort you were raised to believe Outro You don’t have to think anymore… We’ll do it for you… You don’t have to think anymore…
