Tom MacDonald - Brainwashed

[Intro]
Bm Bm/A Bm
(x4)

[Verse]
Bm Bm/A Bm
Half the country fell asleep but they scream woke
Bm Bm/A Bm
We’re distracted by vaccines and TV shows
Bm Bm/A Bm
Politics, celebrity, gossip, popular neat quotes
Bm Bm/A Bm
Black lives, white lives, which lives mean most?
Bm Bm/A Bm
We only dedicate one day to remember our fallen soldiers
Bm Bm/A Bm
The men and women who died young
Bm Bm/A Bm
But if you come out the closet as Caitlyn Jenner
Bm Bm/A Bm
You’re a hero and you get a whole Pride month
Bm Bm/A Bm
The most dangerous pandemic’s propaganda from these clowns
Bm Bm/A Bm
Only mask that’s gonna save us is duct tape on they mouths
Bm
Don’t speak, we don’t need to defund police
Bm Bm/A Bm
Need to defund the media who lies through they teeth, like
Bm Bm/A Bm
Big Pharma doesn’t cure you, dog
Bm Bm/A Bm
‘Cause every patient that gets cured is a customer lost
Bm Bm/A Bm
And big oil runs the world, the only wars that get fought
Bm Bm/A Bm
Are with the countries who have natural resources they want
Bm Bm/A Bm
Heard ‘em claiming if a white man braids his hair
Bm Bm/A Bm
And likes rap, he’s appropriating culture
Bm Bm/A Bm
But if a white man acts too white, he’s white trash
Bm Bm/A Bm
He’s a racist, he’s a bigot, he’s a monster

[Pre-Chorus]
Bm Bm/A Bm
Let’s just have the conversation
Bm Bm/A Bm
Not every liberal is dumb, not all Republicans are racist
Bm Bm/A Bm
The government wants everybody fighting with their neighbors
Bm
‘Cause they know that if we get along, we’ll probably go against ‘em

[Chorus]
Bm Bm/A Bm
They can’t stop us, ‘cause we’re ready to fight
Bm Bm/A Bm
Try to brainwash us, but we won’t let freedom die
Bm Bm/A Bm
The whole world’s brainwashed
Bm Bm/A Bm
(Everybody pick a team, start a riot in the streets)
Bm Bm/A Bm
The whole world’s brainwashed
Bm Bm/A Bm
(It’s us against them, it ain’t you against me)

[Verse]
Bm Bm/A Bm
How did monkeys become people and people turned into sheep?
Bm Bm/A Bm
They put fluoride in the water that’s keeping us all asleep
Bm Bm/A Bm
Claim they want what’s best for us, I find that hard to believe
Bm Bm/A Bm
‘Cause they been selling us cigarettes since we was eighteen
Bm Bm/A Bm
Fake news, fake woke, distract, and divide
Bm Bm/A Bm
You’re either right or you’re left or you’re black or you’re white
Bm Bm/A Bm
Big tech don’t need a microchip to hack in your life
N.C.
‘Cause the phone inside your pocket is a tracking device
Bm Bm/A Bm
And I don’t know what I’m more sick of, rappers or Joe Biden
Bm Bm/A Bm
Looking like he ate a hundred Xanax for dinner
Bm Bm/A Bm
‘Cause censoring the president and kicking him off Twitter
Bm Bm/A Bm
Is a bigger threat to freedom than foreign ballistic missiles
Bm Bm/A Bm
You don’t trust the police or the government but you want
Bm Bm/A Bm
People giving up their right to own a firearm
Bm Bm/A Bm
Why would you be comfortable if police and the government
Bm Bm/A Bm
The only people on the planet with the right to buy a gun?
Bm Bm/A Bm
White privilege getting amplified to reinforce division
Bm Bm/A Bm
It convinces white people that they’re favored by their skin
Bm Bm/A Bm
And black people getting angry
Bm Bm/A Bm
‘Cause they’re told they’re treated different
Bm Bm/A Bm
So the conflict is between us and never with the system

[Pre-Chorus]
Bm Bm/A Bm
Let’s just have the conversation
Bm Bm/A Bm
Not every liberal is dumb, not all Republicans are racist
Bm Bm/A Bm
The government wants everybody fighting with their neighbors
Bm
‘Cause they know that if we get along, we’ll probably go against ‘em

[Chorus]
Bm Bm/A Bm
They can’t stop us, ‘cause we’re ready to fight
Bm Bm/A Bm
Try to brainwash us, but we won’t let freedom die
Bm Bm/A Bm
The whole world’s brainwashed
Bm Bm/A Bm
(Everybody pick a team, start a riot in the streets)
Bm Bm/A Bm
The whole world’s brainwashed
Bm Bm/A Bm
(It’s us against them, it ain’t you against me)

[Bridge]
Bm Bm/A Bm
Step one, train the people only to consume
Bm Bm/A Bm
Step two, infiltrate adults with the news
Bm Bm/A Bm
Step three, indoctrinate the children through the schools
Bm Bm/A Bm
And the music and the apps on the phones that they use
Bm Bm/A Bm
Step four, separate the right from the left
Bm Bm/A Bm
Step five, separate the white from the black
Bm Bm/A Bm
Step six, separate the rich from the poor
Bm Bm/A Bm
Use religion and equality to separate ‘em more
Bm Bm/A Bm
Step seven, fabricate a problem made of lies
Bm Bm/A Bm
Step eight, put it on the news every night
Bm Bm/A Bm
Step nine, when people start to fight and divide
N.C.
Take control, this is called situational design

[Chorus]
Bm Bm/A Bm
They can’t stop us, ‘cause we’re ready to fight
Bm Bm/A Bm
Try to brainwash us, but we won’t let freedom die
Bm Bm/A Bm
The whole world’s brainwashed
Bm Bm/A Bm
(Everybody pick a team, start a riot in the streets)
Bm Bm/A Bm
The whole world’s brainwashed
Bm Bm/A Bm
(It’s us against them, it ain’t you against me)
