install/place their puppets in departments of justice
In committees and boards
and have them judge us
and tell us whom to gaslight and ghost
when you gaslight and ghost
Carrying all the hallmarks of a totalitarian state


surveillance and snooping
snooping in a hightech way
every breath you take every move you make we'll be snooping you
Every move you make and every breath you take will be watched
And added to your carbon footprint
they said big brother is your friend who loves you
and 1 + 1 is 1 more than 2
which may not be three, as the wise ones agree
You'd think we're wiser by now
You'd think we'd know by now
But no, no, no,
The truth is,
We'll get fooled again
They'll take us
For a ride again
All your words on us will be
Thrown in vain.


we'll get fooled again (a la The Who)

 it's a wonder you did not run
like a cat on a hot tin roof

You claim to have read
orwell huxley solzenitsyn and arendt
but apparently they passed you by
like rain on a bald man's scalp/head

 
Scenes as from a dream carried on the crest of a shuddering wave
Softly, delicately, in mute frenzy
Soundless and sepulchral,
Blurred and flickering
For it's from a time gone by.

Soldiers of the reich march in perfect file
Hordes cheer on in thunderous applause
Which I hear not, for as I said, it's from a time gone by
But rendered all the more ominous by the eerie silence.

Evil lives on,
Gone to hide in crevices and in valleys
And in folds of flowers
Biding its time
To return in a different guise.


how can i change the world when the seed of evil sprouts from me
how can i change the world when i am the one that burns in this fire.
how can i change the world when i am that which is evil
