Analysis of Owned



Come my cattle
Come my sheep
Waddle to the place
Where I tell you to sleep
Stop your thinking
Don’t utter a peep
We are in charge
Of you and your thought
We pay for your ass
Your life we bought
Don’t fucken whine or moan
It’s you and your ass we own
Yes we can now say this to your face
We no longer need to hide
We own the human race
Do you think we ever really care?
If you do
Then you deserve the misery you share
We can’t help but laugh at all you fools
For years you’ve been our slaves
And our obedient tools
We trained you like dogs
And baited you like fish
Now with the world on the brink
All you can do is wish
Pathetic that you have lost your sight
Despicable that you have no fight
You deserve to be fleeced like sheep
Instead of standing up for yourselves
You cower and weep
We feel no pity or remorse
You gave us this power
And set the course
So please continue to wallow in shame
You only have yourselves to blame
As we continue to play our game

Eric (and sometimes not)
