Everyone got the meaning of this song wrong. This song is about the new world order and how if that law passes in 2014, people will be microchipped and the government will be controlling us and we will then be their slaves. Although the government says that microchipping is beneficial in many ways, it will destroy our privacy and we will be enslaved to the government. Moreover "enough money to control us" is talking about the richest 1% trying to control the 99%. Good luck.
the world punctures its eardrums and gouges out its eyes. it speaks it refuses to hear and see the truth; it tells itself: i am special. if i try my best, i will succeed. the world is a nice place. people dont die. there is no god.
They're talking about the progression of greed to where you can never have enough, and the reality that money is metaphorically the hand of the pupetteer where everyone is a slave to the system because no one individual has power without money.
So basically what it says is you are wearing "invisible handcuffs".
I don't wanna know the truth. It's saying he don't wanna realize the truth that they Conquer the world. Hey, you guys have to read 'The Protocols of Sion'
@sjy0688 I hope you know Illuminati is a proven fake, Freemasons are just a bunch of rich dudes, the Son Society was an elaborate prank, given fame by The Da Vinci Code where the author didn't even take time to research and just claimed crap.
I had to agree with the lyrics, because many famous celebrities are so famous that people even worship them as god. Just take for example, justin bieber, a lot of kids are desperate and cry over him, it's like they worship him. and people with a lot of money could do a lot of things, whereas, those with little money can't just spend it on anything or they'll go broke. "there is enough money to control you" it's reality...the truth @1:30. i like this song.
@angeluis23 In fact, they were saying how we're enslaved to the system of money. Those with less money are immediately put as the "lower class," so if you have no money, no status. Then there's the 1% of the population who controls 40% of our money. They have the power and they could offer us money to do something, and most of us will fall under their control in attempt for that money; in other words, a job, in which you get paid less than you earned.
I would have liked this song so much more if they hadn't gotten into pseudo-academic babble about money... great beat, nice pacing, but what they're saying just grates my ears
Are you sure? I had to listen and write that part by ear, but I couldn't understand what he said because of the beatbox (and maybe because my speakers are bad). Okay, I'll correct it right away.
@angeluis23 Yeap, those are the lyrics I found on another site or two a long while back, and it also makes more sense...Especially since earlier he was talking about being "slaves" of sorts..
Money is power, only when nothing's proven. Favorite line. Thought korean music was only about love, heartbrake, and women. This song has definatly proven me wrong this is an outstanding song lyrically and music wise I really love it.
is there an instrumental?

Though this song isn't talking about money in that way. This is about politics and society, after all.

I prefer Lesson 2 than the rest. And if we talk about "lessons" in this album, I prefer Mithra's one. That's one good track.
