"Colonized Mind" lyrics - PRINCE

PRINCE
"Colonized Mind"

Upload: the evolution principle
You see a rock on the shore and say
"It's always been there"
Download: no responsibility
Do what you want nobody cares
Upload: the master race idea
Genetically disposed to rule the world
Download: a future full of isolated
Full of isolated boys and girls

Upload: a two-party system
The lesser of two dangers
Illusion of choice
Download: a veiled form of fascism
Nothing really ever changes
You never had a voice

If you look, you're sure gonna find
Throughout mankind's history
A colonized mind
The one in power makes law
Under which the colonized fall
But without God it's just the blind leading the blind

Upload: a joint venture record deal
It's just another way for the man to steal
While he's sticking you with the bill
Download: the temporary acquisition of fleeting fame and fortune
Nothing to leave in your will

Upload: a child with no father
Download: no respect for authority
Upload: a child with no mother
Download: a hard time showing love

If you look, you're sure gonna find
Throughout mankind's history
A colonized mind
The one in power makes law
Under which the colonized fall
But without God it's just the blind leading the blind
