Another day another post-traumatic order
Brainwashed and feeling fine
I bit off more than I could chew when I looked closer
So I stabbed a fork in my eye
Think I'm losing my fucking mind
Don't know where to turn, now I'm blind
Destroy yourself it feels so good to fade away
Why, d'you want to hurt yourself?
Die, for something else?
Don't let your conscience get in the way
Obey
We hope you have a lovely day
Obey
You don't want us to come out and play
Away, now now
There's nothing to see here
It's under control
We're only gambling with your soul
Obey
Whatever you do, just don't wake up and smell the corruption
(Do you feel that? Yeah)
Another day, another systematic nightmare
Commemorate a wonderful life
Bite me first, I'll bite you back
Melodramatic laughter
I stabbed a knife in my eye
Think I'm out my fucking mind
Brainwashed and I'm feeling fine
Destroy yourself it feels too good to fade away
Why, do I want to hurt myself?
Should I die for something else?
I let my conscience get in the way
Obey
We hope you have a lovely day
Obey
You don't want us to come out and play
Away, now now
There's nothing to see here
It's under control
We're only gambling with your soul
Obey
Whatever you do, just don't wake up and smell the corruption
When your freedom it's lethal
Tell me how you're going to hurt yourself
You call yourselves peaceful
You monsters are people
You fucking monsters are people
Obey
We're gonna show you how to behave
Obey
It's nicer when you can't see the chains
Obey
We hope you have a lovely day
Obey
You don't want us to come out and play
Away, now now
There's nothing to see here
It's under control (it's under control)
We're only gambling with your soul (with your soul)
Obey
Whatever you do, just don't wake up and smell the corruption
Smell the corruption
Smell the corruption
Brainwashed and feeling fine
I bit off more than I could chew when I looked closer
So I stabbed a fork in my eye
Think I'm losing my fucking mind
Don't know where to turn, now I'm blind
Destroy yourself it feels so good to fade away
Why, d'you want to hurt yourself?
Die, for something else?
Don't let your conscience get in the way
Obey
We hope you have a lovely day
Obey
You don't want us to come out and play
Away, now now
There's nothing to see here
It's under control
We're only gambling with your soul
Obey
Whatever you do, just don't wake up and smell the corruption
(Do you feel that? Yeah)
Another day, another systematic nightmare
Commemorate a wonderful life
Bite me first, I'll bite you back

According to vocalist 'Oli Sykes' This song was written in April, May, of this year & it was very much inspired by everything that’s going on and very much from the side of the oppressor. I think everyone has been stopped in their tracks & I think a lot of people are realizing that maybe the people in charge aren’t looking out for our best interest. The way that we’re fed traumatic and devastating news on a daily basis, I think the powers that be or whatever you want to call them, they’ve gotten very good at getting us desensitized to this information & we have been sleepwalking for a while where we know all this horrible stuff is going on but we didn’t do anything about it.
