David Alan Roberts - Their Treasures Come with A Hook Lyrics

One day I woke up only to find
That my life is no longer mine
I lost my soul when I spent my days
On whatever would bring me praise
Well, it took a while before I understood
That all their treasures come with a hook
And that's never good
I bought into this crazy show
Thinking somehow I had control
But I'm pulled along by some shiny things
I never think of the cost they will bring
Well, it took a while before I understood
All their treasures come with a hook
A nasty hook
There's a plan that they devised
But its acceptance comes with a price
Discontent is what drives the gears
And they're oiled by manufactured fears
It's all control, we're a resource to use
Others get rich by what we produce
Long time ago I bowed and knelt
On the cultural conveyor belt
How many lies must I buy into
Before I see I'm comin' unglued
I'm in chains, led by my nose
And I should have seen it years ago
But it seemed so right because I was so wrong
There's no top to reach, just one more rung
We're never done
