Operation: Mind Control Lyrics


A day of repetition, in this shadow factory
It doesn't look much like freedom to me
It's operation mind control
It's the battle for America's soul
It's operation mind control
Just try on this straight jacket, of conformity
While we force feed you propaganda, on the state TV
It's operation mind control
It's the battle for America's soul
It's operation mind control
It's the battle for America's soul
Your under 24 hour surveillance
By the satellite spies
We'll always be watched by
The all seeing eye

In God we Trust (What's the matter with you)
(What's the matter with you)
(Behold a pale Horse)
In God we Trust (What's the matter with you)
(What's the matter with you)
(Behold Oblivion)
In God we Trust (What's the matter with you, this is mind control)
In God we Trust (You better get behind, get in line)
It's death in repetition.
The shadow factory
Doesn't look much like living to me
It's operation mind control,
It's the battle for America's soul
It's operation mind control,
It's the battle for America's soul (rise up)
Now put on this straight jacket of conformity
Fault of a nation, that's brought biology
It's operation mind control
It's the battle for America's soul
It's operation mind control
It's the battle for America's soul

Living Colour is a funk metal group formed in New York city in 1984. They signed to Epic Records in 1987 and released their first album, Vivid, in 1988.

Stylistically their music is a creative fusion influenced by guitar-based rock such as hardcore punk and heavy metal, and traditional African-American music such as jazz, funk, and hip-hop. They are linked to the funk metal/alternative metal movement of the late 1980s typified by bands such as Fishbone, Jane's Addiction, Primus, Faith No More, and 24-7 Spyz. They are best remembered for the hit Cult of Personality, which won a Grammy Award for best hard rock performance in 1989. They were also named Best New Artist at the 1989 MTV Video Music Awards. The singer, Corey Glover, had a role in the movie 'Platoon', directed by Oliver Stone.

The first two albums bassist Muzz Skillings contributed to the music, before leaving in 1992 due to creative differences. They were inactive from 1995-2000, and since their return have operated as a regular touring unit, as well as releasing one new studio release, Collide0Scope, one compilation of b-sides & rarities, and one live album from their early performances at the now mythical CBGB's. All four have released solo albums and session work, Doug Wimbish and Will Calhoun also are in both Jungle Funk and Head>>Fake, Corey Glover is also doing musical theatre, Vernon Reid has several projects, and Wimbish also has returned to various projects related to his other longstanding collaborators Adrian Sherwood, Keith Leblanc, and Skip McDonald.

The band are set to release their new album, The Chair in the Doorway, on September 15th of this year on Megaforce.
