MK Ultra
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club Lyrics

I spit my faith on the city pavement
I publicly displayed my belief and devotion, without reservation or concern for others' opinions

To keep a smile
In order to maintain a positive facade, despite any inner turmoil or discomfort

I bought my legs from the US Government
I allowed the government to control and influence my actions and movements, in exchange for security or protection

To keep me in line
In order to enforce obedience, conformity, and compliance with societal norms and expectations

We are the ones that keep you high
We act as a source of stimulation or euphoria, distracting from the harsh realities of life

We are the ones that warm the sky
We create a sense of comfort, security, and familiarity in the unpredictable and overwhelming world

And you're burning bright
You are thriving and succeeding, fueled by our influence and impact

I filled my head with another replacement
I sought an alternative, temporary solution to my problems, rather than addressing the root cause or underlying issue

To keep me high
In order to escape, numb, or dissociate from reality and its challenges or struggles

I shot my soul when they wanted to take it
I resisted and fought against any attempt to control, manipulate, or undermine my identity, beliefs, or values

Your worst ain't mine
I am not intimidated or affected by the negativity or hostility of others, as I remain true to myself

We are the ones that keep you down
We impose limitations, constraints, or obstacles on your potential and aspirations

We are the ones that warm the ground
We provide a sense of stability, grounding, and foundation in chaotic or uncertain times

While our arms surround
We offer protection, shelter, and comfort in the face of danger, fear, or vulnerability

She's my river of sunshine, she's my girl
She is a constant source of joy, hope, and positivity in my life, a partner or companion who brings light to my days

She can save the US, save the world
She has the power and influence to enact change, to make a difference on a global scale

Yeah she's alright, I'll be fine
Despite any external hardships or obstacles, I am confident and content in this relationship, and believe it will sustain me

There's no US, save your mind
The idea of a unified, patriotic nation is a construct or illusion, and true salvation or liberation comes from inner peace and consciousness

I'll give you nothing if you're just gonna waste it
I am reluctant to invest in someone or something if I believe it will not be appreciated or utilized to its full potential

But that's alright
This decision does not cause me distress or regret, as I am comfortable with my boundaries and priorities

I'll give you love if you're wanting the taste that
I am willing to offer affection or care, but only if there is genuine reciprocation or desire

That leaves you behind
This love or attachment is conditional or fleeting, and will ultimately result in separation or abandonment

We are the ones that burn your pride
We challenge or threaten your sense of superiority, ego, or self-importance, exposing vulnerabilities and insecurities

I've been waiting for the sun to come, lead me through the gates of Rome
I have been anticipating a moment of illumination, enlightenment, or breakthrough, a symbolic journey to a place of historical significance or cultural refinement

You're gonna know they were never, never yours to kill
You will realize that the forces or entities you believed were under your control were actually autonomous and resistant to your power or authority

I've been waitin for the sun to come, show you all what's being done
I have been eager to demonstrate the progress, growth, or results of my endeavors, to highlight accomplishments or contributions

You're gonna know they were never, never yours to kill
You will recognize that certain elements or factors were beyond your influence or jurisdiction, despite attempts to manipulate or dominate them
