Aarron Laidig - They're Playing Us Lyrics

They've been pulling strings since the beginning of time
Hiding in shadows, controlling our minds
Whispered lies, turning us against each other
Make us blind, tell us to fight our own brothers
Politics, religion, the colors we wear
They feed us hatred, they tell us they care
We're all the same, can't you see the game
It's how they hold us down, it's how they like to reign
They divide us with fear, with anger and shame
Make us point fingers, say we aren't the same
We need to stand together, oh, we could break their chains
Get it together, topple those who are to blame
Cut the strings, break the chains
They're playing us, making us insane
We've got the power, we've got the voice
Now it's time to make a choice
Don't let them fool us, don't let them win
It's time to rise, a time of truth can begin
We're all just human, you've got to see
Destroy the puppet masters and become free
They'll use our age, our race, our sexuality
Gotta keep us divided, blind to reality
They love to see us fight, love to see us fall
As long as we're at war, they control it all
But deep down we know, we're made all the same
Our little differences are nothing, stop playing their game
We can be strong together, can't you feel the call
It's time to break down these walls once and for all
Cut the strings, break the chains
They're playing us, making us insane
We've got the power, we've got the voice
Now it's time to make a choice
Don't let them fool us, don't let them win
It's time to rise, a time of truth can begin
We're all just human, you've got to see
Destroy the puppet masters and become free
Together as one, we'll rise, hand in hand, side by side
No more lies, no more games, no more hatred, no more blame
We as one, can't be denied
Expose the truth that they've always tried to hide
Cut the strings, don't look away
It's our world, we can make them pay
Band together, rise as one
The people's fight has just begun
