It’s not just lyrics in a song.



From the time you’re born to the time you die there is always someone trying to run your life and vying for power over it.

Your parents have to in order to raise you. That’s a given, but it doesn’t stop at that. It’s only just begun.

Your teachers want to mold you, many even subvert you to change the world to their image of the way the world should be.

Your girlfriend/boyfriend wants to make you into the person they want you to be, and your spouse control your time and full attention

Your kids want to manipulate you, or exert authority over you when they get bigger and learn how the game works.

Religion wants to control your behavior and your belief system through fear

Atheists want to control whether you believe in God or not by shaming you as a fool for believing in the first place.

Politicians on both sides want to control your pocket book, your loyalties, your behavior, and have you fighting amongst yourselves for their own absolute power, and to change the world to their vision of the world.

ALL Governments want to control people, land, commerce, and norms, values, and behaviors of said people under their control. It’s never going to be enough.

Idealists in positions of power within the media, and the entertainment industry want to do likewise.

Women want what men have, blacks want what whites have, and whites want what they don’t have and are told is what will make them happy if they attain it. All want to exert power over the other.

The people you work for want to control your time, and use your need for money to control every facet of your life if they can, some even what you do on and off the clock.

Business wants to control your commerce for their own power, even partnering up with government to give them leverage so you have to spend your money with them. They will do whatever it takes to get you to buy their product, even control your skylines with billboards to control your attention.

Doctors ascribe a cause to a symptom, pharmaceutical companies have a pill ready for you and three more to counteract the side effects of the first pill, and lawyers are right behind them with class actions to go after the doctor and pharmaceutical companies to get their hands on all of the money. And ALL of this controls your health.

Insurance companies want to control your worries to get their hands on more of your money.

When you die, your family will control where you are laid to rest, and a funeral home will take more of your money. What’s left will cause divisions within family members who want to control what’s left of that money/possessions you left behind.

EVERYONE wants to control your tongue, and your thoughts if they can.

And EVERYONE, EVERYONE, EVERYONE, wants your money



Happy Monday!!!!

It's: EveryBODY wants to rule the world.

The first shall be last, and the last shall be first.
Christianity teaches humility and sacrifice. It is the only system that actively teaches against the ever prevalent practices of power.

Yeah, the Roman Catholic Church has messed this up, but don’t think for a second that that’s Christian teaching.

An even better song is "For The People that Think They May be about to Rock" by AC/DC

It's quite possibly the greatest song ever.

Much better at being concise and artsy than the OP's mangled attempt on the matter.

People only rule over you if you let them. Other than the law itself, I tell everyone else to get fricked. You either do the ruling, or be ruled over. I choose the former

Methinks someone is a little disillusioned.
