Brandi Guthrie - Gingerbread Man

You follow naive and blind to the lies they spread.
You mind your manners and swallow what they`ve said.
They will narrow your options til you`re too tied to choose.
And after the devastation clears, who will you stand to lose?
You absorb media sound bites conditioned for your consumption.
Do you think they have you in mind when they make their assumptions?
There are men among you who want you trodden beneath their feet.
And they justify their deceptions claiming defense, so clean and neat.
How can you function freely so sheltered and spoon fed
With explainations and reasonings not born of your own head?
If thinking for yourself were a crime... well it might as well be.
But I am the gingerbread man and they will never catch me.
