Hook, Line and Sinker

[Verse 1] I watched ’em lining up, begging for the shot Swallowing the narrative, connecting every dot Did they read the fine print? Do they know if it’s safe? Or just follow the current, deception setting the pace? [Chorus] Hook, line, and sinker — they’re all getting schooled Trading self-governance, for chains and being ruled I refuse to be used by the bureaucratic machine I'd rather seek wisdom than trade freedom for ease [Verse 2] Willing to trade freedom for a false security Handouts over hard truth, comfort over liberty But those who govern themselves usually get ahead They steer their own ship instead of being misled [Chorus] Hook, line, and sinker — they’re all getting schooled Trading self-governance for chains and being ruled I refuse to be used by the bureaucratic machine I'd rather seek wisdom than trade freedom for ease [Verse 3] Wouldn’t you rather be in control than be told what to do? Disciplined and honest, discovering what is true Like a fool in his folly, they follow and they drool Can’t govern themselves… so they must all be ruled [Bridge] They never give, they only take, demanding what they didn’t make Blaming everyone else while refusing their own stake Demonizing producers, division is the game Living off the system, never taking any blame [Final Chorus Hook, line, and sinker — wake up, get schooled Reclaim self-governance, don’t settle for being ruled I refuse to be used by the bureaucratic machine I'd rather seek wisdom than trade freedom for ease [Outro] Yeah, I choose wisdom and freedom. Self- governance, instead of being ruled!!!
