Are our choices our own when we're deluged with a culture that only wants to make money from us ?

lyrics

The roads that you follow, the paths that you take,
The souls you connect with, decisions you make.
The signs that you look for, the bones on the floor.
The truths that you cling to and those you ignore.

So you think you choose?
Well, if that's the answer you have everything to lose.
Do you control what you do?
Or is it ordained, taken away from you.

The roads that you follow, the paths that you seek,
The gods you prey to, the counsel you keep.
The values you place to define, to explore.
The maxims approved of and those you ignore.

So you think you choose?
Well, if that's the answer you have everything to lose.
Do the spheres turn for you?
Or are they set no matter what you do?

I'll bring the scales, weigh up the numbers,
and let the wheel spin free.
But your odds are stacked, for there's no straight outcome.
Your molds been set.

Are your choices your own?
Are your choices your own?

The roads that you follow, the paths that you take.
The truths that you borrow, the decisions you make.
The roads that you follow, the paths that you take.
The truths that you borrow, the decisions you make.

So you think you choose?
Well if that's the solution then it's all down to you.
Let me give you a clue:
The Road is what you do.

I'll bring the scales, weigh up the numbers,
and let the wheel spin free.
But your odds are stacked, for there's no straight outcome.
Your molds been set.

Are your choices your own?
Are your choices your own?
