Paroles:
At some turning point in history,
some fuckface recognized that knowledge tends to democratize cultures and societies
so the only thing to do was monopolize and confine it to priests,
clerics and elites the rest resigned to serve,
cuz if the rabble heard the truth they'd organize against the power,
privilege and wealth hoarded by the few- for no one else
And did it occur to you that it's almost exactly the same today?
And so if our schools won't teach us,
we'll have to teach ourselves to analyze and understand the systems of thought-control
And share it with each other,
never sayed by brass rings or the threat of penalty
I'll promise you- you promise me-
not to sell each other out to murderers, to thieves
who've manufactured our delusion that you and me participate meaningfully
in the process of running our own lives
Yeah, you can vote however the fuck you want,
but power still calls all the shots
And believe it or not, even if (real) democracy broke loose,
power could/would just "make the economy scream" until we vote responsibly
