My eyes swept across the hall A whole nation up against the wall This evolution hasn't changed a bit The straightjackets still a perfect fit
Used in numbers to maintain the peace Cruelty is taken in with ease When disagreeing voices start to cry They rot in sonic silence right until they die
Words unspoken Of living in the rough
Still we're here...
The 20 second century! A medieval tyranny Is watching and dictating All we survey
There is an army standing guard To take our hopes and dreams apart The key to survival is stand and obey
Art and literature controlled by fire Originators shot by guns for hire The thinking people is a deadly threat To a cold regime so obsoletely led
One day you'll decline And we'll be first in line To turn off this madness
But still we're here...
