THE MANIPULATION

CHORUS

LIFE IS MANIPULATION, ME NO I DON'T WANT THAT
POPULATION YES AGAIN
DOMINATION, PROLIFERATION
YES AGAIN WORDS THAT GO SO WELL TOGETHER
ARE WE SHEEP ?
ARE WE SHEEP ?
ARE WE VAST SHEEP ?
Manipulation... Manipulation... Manipulation...
Of the population... Situation... Domination...
REVOLT ! REVOLT! REVOLT !
Against manipulation!
REVOLT! REVOLT! REVOLT !
Manipulation, manipulation, manipulation
When will it end this desolation ?
MANIPULATION !
POWERFUL PEOPLE !
POWERFUL PEOPLE !
RISE UP, MY FRIENDS !
RISE UP, MY FRIENDS !
RISE UP, MY FRIENDS !
THE MANIPULATION
Manipulation... Manipulation... Manipulation...
RISE UP, MY FRIENDS !
RISE UP, MY FRIENDS !

Verse 1

Our life is complete manipulation
If we don't watch out, we live in vast manipulation
We lose our minds, we lose our reason
Your wife will manipulate you, it's the season
Your neighbor will manipulate you non-stop
Your colleague will manipulate you, it won't drop
They all want to control you, make you bend
I live in a vast manipulation with no end
NO! I refuse this domination
I reject all this manipulation !

Pre-Chorus

Manipulation, manipulation, manipulation
When will it end this desolation ?
I'm revolted, I'm in insurrection
Against this vast manipulation!
Revolt! Revolt against manipulation !

CHORUS

LIFE IS MANIPULATION, ME NO I DON'T WANT THAT
POPULATION YES AGAIN
DOMINATION, PROLIFERATION
YES AGAIN WORDS THAT GO SO WELL TOGETHER
ARE WE SHEEP ?
ARE WE SHEEP?
ARE WE VAST SHEEP ?

Verse 2

Situation of population manipulation
Look! Words that go well together, what a revelation
Manipulation, population, domination
All these -tion words, what an alienation !
Are we vast sheep following the herd ?
You jump, I jump, we jump like robots absurd
Well NO ! I won't jump in this trap
I refuse this rigged fight, this crap
I don't want that, I won't take it anymore
This manipulation trying to make us ignore !

Pre-Chorus

Manipulation, manipulation, manipulation
Revolt! Revolution! Liberation!
I'm revolted, in total insurrection
Against this manipulation of the nation!
STOP the manipulation!

CHORUS 2

LIFE IS MANIPULATION, ME NO I DON'T WANT THAT

YES AGAIN WORDS THAT GO SO WELL TOGETHER
ARE WE SHEEP ?
ARE WE SHEEP ?
ARE WE VAST SHEE P?

CHORUS

LIFE IS MANIPULATION, ME NO I DON'T WANT THAT
POPULATION YES AGAIN
DOMINATION, PROLIFERATION
YES AGAIN WORDS THAT GO SO WELL TOGETHER
ARE WE SHEEP ?
ARE WE SHEEP ?
ARE WE VAST SHEEP ?
Manipulation... Manipulation... Manipulation...
Of the population... Situation... Domination...
REVOLT! REVOLT! REVOLT !
Against manipulation!
REVOLT! REVOLT! REVOLT !
Manipulation, manipulation, manipulation
When will it end this desolation ?
MANIPULATION !

The Anix is the electronic-rock project of Los Angeles composer / producer Brandon Smith. Combining his love of cinematic sci-fi, anime and comic books with synthesizers, electronic programming, alternative rock, powerful vocal hooks and anthemic choruses, The Anix creates a visionary future of art and music.

Originally founded in 2000 by brothers Brandon & Logan Smith with long time friend Chris Dinger, the group toured the Hollywood rock club circuit for several years. After writing hundreds of songs and playing countless shows, the band signed a deal in 2008 to record their first full length studio album titled Demolition City. The band then landed a deal with The Diesel Management Group and toured throughout Europe on the “Rocket Science Tour” with electronic masterminds Apoptygma Berzerk.

In 2011 The Anix signed a record deal with Cleopatra Records to record their second studio album titled Sleepwalker. In 2016, The Anix began the process of reinventing themselves, shifting away from a touring band into a studio project. After a full year of development, the group emerged with Ephemeral in March 2017 as their 2nd album on Cleopatra Records.

In 2018, The Anix completed their metamorphosis from band to solo project as front-man & songwriter Brandon Smith signed with FiXT, the artist-owned/operated independent record label of electronic-rock pioneer Klayton (Celldweller, Scandroid, Circle of Dust). Focusing on releasing regular singles throughout the year, The Anix is poised to embrace the future.
