"Intro" lyrics

"Intro"

Just spew another brainless speech
To pander to the desperate nescient mass
Petulant flapping gums producing
Specious slop they set their traps
It's just grand-scale sleight of hand
The eyes of the public diverted with
Little resistance they're free now to act out their plans

Another bomb goes off
Across the globe and we're no wiser
Another innocent is murdered by a pig
We're kept distracted so we're tranquil
Not proactive this indoctrinating pablum
Has left us too sure of ourselves in the dark

The president's a TV personality
You're living in a fantasy
If you believe that what we're shown
Is all that's going on
All the outrageous headlines and tweets
Just a smokescreen the world is run behind
The scenes the president's a pawn
So tune into your local dead-eyed news team
And blindly follow or question your reality
I guarantee you'll come to see not everything
Is as it seems and we're all being played

Another bomb goes off
Across the globe and we're no wiser
Another innocent is murdered by a pig
We're kept distracted so we're tranquil
Not proactive this indoctrinating pablum
Has left us too sure of ourselves in the dark

The president is just a face for us to aim our hate towards
To keep the benighted consumer content
The true master's money, that almighty moolah
Our lives are now measured in dollars and cents
As free thought could impede
Their cash flow it's in their best interest
To keep eyes glued to the screen
Hit the couch and tune into the chaos
Distraction and comfort's the best way to build a regime

Another bomb goes off
Across the globe and we're no wiser
Another innocent is murdered by a pig
We're kept distracted so we're tranquil
Not proactive this indoctrinating pablum
Has left us too sure of ourselves in the dark
