about

Controlled is a song that slipped through the cracks. Paco composed and recorded it himself on a four track console along with the original versions of Eve and Seven. The band had every intention of working it up but just never got around to it. We even listened back to it briefly while writing Swallowing The Pill but it didn't fit at that point. This remains the only version of the song in existence.

lyrics

smiling face
misdirected finger pointing
cheshire mask
selective listening
and selling you subliminal dreams

falling down the rabbit's hole
chasing checkered pocket watch
choking this dream
until the clock runs out of time


you take what they give you
force fed as you swallow down
you tell me that we cannot make a difference
needs only one spark
what it takes to make the turn around
if you want to change the world

you tell yourself
this s a dream
where you are in control

this faded thing

please realize now
you are controlled
controlled
controlled
controlled

painting the roses red
painting the roses red
remembering to stay in the lines
why must we paint them red?

telling me what say
telling me what to feel
which color should i wear
which color should i be

teaching me your perception of the where i ought to see
which color should i fear
which color should i be

crazy
opening doors into this crazy
living the lives that make us crazy
holding the stokers to the crazy
cracking the windows that seep crazy
over the rainbow we are crazy
follow the leaders that are crazy
listen to voices that are crazy
believing the lies in all this crazy
painting the roses we are crazy
believing the lies that make us crazy
over the rainbow we are crazy
believing that lies that make us crazy
over the rainbow we are are crazy
like the mad hatter we are...

you take what they give you
force fed as you swallow down
you tell me that we cannot make a difference
needs only one spark
what it takes to make the turn around
if you want to change the world
