We’re not living in a democratic administration
The public are being fooled by the rulers of this nation
Do you think we get a choice in the affairs of the day?
That we have any control in what they decide and say?
We're bombarded by spin doctors and fabricated ideals
They really couldn't give a shit about how poverty feels
The statistics are fixed to project that everything is grand
People unemployed? homeless? Sick? No, not on our land
Read the papers as they ooze pages of biased ink
Black and white letters that tell you what to think
Not what they know to be the truth, the proof
The rich can't sell that to you so you’re aloof
Alone in the world wondering how to beat the system
Telling people to make a change but they won’t listen
They think you’re crazy, lazy, lost or broken
Perhaps he’s on the scale because he’s so outspoken!
Frustration spreads while you tie yourself in knots
The greedy and destructive are taking all the shots
At the cures, the fixes the people now contradicted
By gagging orders and their research now redacted and restricted
By the pharmaceutical companies and their money making plans
and the companies and politicians who prosper from these scams
Ripe with corruption and mass murderous schemes
They want to own our souls and censor our dreams
With consumerism for the numb but I fear I can’t relate
When depression sets in they say spending helps abate
So you increase your debts with more possessions to your name
Another form of control that anchors you to their reign
And when we’re in the maelstrom and realise the con
They buy up all the proof and pay off all their wrongs
Time goes by and no-one seems to remember or care
So it starts again because apathy and ignorance is what the masses share
They say, “You can’t make a difference, you're just one person!”
And that’s the mentality that determines the recursion…
