Lost Something ?
ReplyDeleteI am the thoughts inside your head
the conciseness they thought was dead
the words you are afraid to voice
in this illusion we call choice
I tell you, you will not find me
inside polite society
where with raise fingers
they sip tea
and dream dreams of mediocrity
where every person they protect
by being politically correct
sleepwalking into censorship
which in truth is dictatorship
sent down from Liberal mother ship
where politicians practice platitude
pretending they are great and good
and inside the church beneath the steeple
the pews are filled brain dead sheeple
who from the moment
they were born
were only taught
they must conform
they swallowed it all
hook, line and sinker
you must not become a thinker
above all you must never question
or even offer a suggestion
you are not wanted here
do you not know we rule by fear
and so I am kept in the gutter
where with the misfits
I can mutter
on the edge, along the fringe
the place where power will never hinge
wrapped up in a straightjacket
so cooperation's can make a packet
while the working class across the nation
survive severe exploitation
even though you watch the news
you miss the tricks the media use
distract distort
reality rarely report
ideology import
manipulate misinform
truth-less tails try to transform
and through all this
you must confess
you lost something
with your progress
and so I give this bitter pill
you have lost me
your own free will
