The Kinks brainwashed

Select language to translate this lyric

You look like a real human being
But you don't have a mind of your own
Yeah you can walk, you can breathe
You can work, you can stitch you can sew
But you're brainwashed
Yes you are, yes you are
Get down on your knees
Mister you're just brainwashed
You've got a job and a house and a wife
And your kids and your car
Yeah you're been trained just to be
What they want you to be
And be happy to be where you are
Yes you are
Get down on your knees
Get down on your knees
You know the bureaucrats and aristocrats
Are dirty rats for making us what we are, yeah
They're up there, we're down here
You're on the ground and they're up with the stars
All your life they've kicked you around
And pushed you around till you can't take any more
To them you're just a speck of dirt
But you don't want to get up off the floor
Mister you're just brainwashed
They give you social security
Tax saving benefits that grow at maturity
Yeah, you're been trained just to be
What they want you to be
And to do what they want you to
Yes you are, yes you are
Get down on your knees
