We refuse the games by Katy

They’ve made mugs of us all
Right down through the ages
We didn’t see it at all
Whilst we furnished our cages
They sold us the toys
With smiles on their faces
Whilst believing that they are
Superior races

We are nothing to them
Except pawns in their game
A human-shaped battery
As they feed from our pain
Manipulation is the art
They perfected so well
So they pull our strings
though we often can’t tell

Though the truth it is so different
If we only could see
The power that we hold is
Immense you and me
We are true creators
When we take back the reigns
And refuse to play more of
Their dark stupid games

They work on our fear, our hurt, and our shame
They know how to use them to keep us in pain
They know how to use them so that we will blame
Each other not the orchestrators of this game

While they keep us distracted by tv and terror
Or how ugly or wrong is our shape in the mirror
Whilst we worry and fret, the fatter they get
They lick their lips as we all do forget

(that)
The truth it is so different
If we only could see
The power that we hold is
Immense you and me
We’re the true creators when
We take back the reigns
And refuse to play more of
Their controlling games

So stand up and shine and shout out your truth
The things that you know without needing their “proof”
For science is a game where they spin all they find
To keep research grants from those who sit smiling behind

For the power is held by the few at the top
Who own everything not just your quaint corner shop
They own the governments and all of the big corporations
The media, banks and the wealth of all nations

But
They don’t own our hearts and they don’t own our souls
Though trust that those too are on their list of their goals!
So don’t believe the lies, the hype and the spin
On the tv or internet or any such thing

Cos the truth it is so different
And we soon shall see
That the power we hold is
Immense you and me
We are true creators and as
We take back the reigns
We refuse to accept any more of their games!
