Conditioned

Never thought that you were conditioned

Never thought that you could be sold

Or controlled

I'm the TV being on in the background

The girl who used to like you in school

I'm the one who's making you feel like

You are nobody's fool

But you live by my rules

So if heaven is a place for thee

Then it's all me!

I'm the kid who's laughing at your complexion

I'm every Bob and Steve and Diane

I'm promotion plan

You are? Oh yeah

I'm the dirty cash in every election

The winners writing your history

Nudging you just ever so slighty

I'm spoof, spam and spin

And you're letting me right in

So if heaven is awaiting thee

And sweet Jesus the Lord

Will be holding thee

Then I'm him!

And if you reject me

And fight to remain free

And try to keep your own

You'll find a life of misery

But if you embrace me

And oppose the fighting few

And make my needs your own

You will be just fine

'Cause I will be holding you

I will be holding you...
