Lyrics Autopia - Miocene

Autopia

Bargain your freedom, flag mutates with every bulletin and
I duck and keep covered, the core enemy sleeps within
That mewling, that puking stunted child, the willing victim of this
TV screen, the real war is lost before it’s begun
Getitaway
Thousand epsilons seek external validation
Fuck blame, fuck revenge and fuck your justification
Crater, a creator so high they all look so small
Drunk with power and echelons voice whispering:
Buried deep, hide it within
Pavlov, teach, reward my anger
Blind me to the consequences
Getitawaygetitawaygetitaway
Camoflage of convienence
Getitawaygetitawaygetitaway
I see it all: apathy is death
Throw down your tortured crown, the thorned pose of a martyred father figure
Nail us all to the cross of your dollar greed and
Tattoo your bombs with flags of power, close the door and make war if you
Feel you need more
Draw battle lines in the blood of pacifists;
passive fists resist little
Even the score
Getitaway
Getitaway
GETITAWAY
Wave this shield of refutation
Arise
Begin a noble patricide…
When you taught that dog to bite
Did you wonder why it bites the heart that bleeds?
It’s cuz there is no fucking antichrist
Just the bullets in the bodies, burning
Pupil turns to pedagogue, and which of us can truly change this world order?
As democracy boils in oil
Crush this criminalisation
Arise
End this bloody pantomime if we can’t
Embrace the fundamental suicide
Why of course the people don’t want war.
But after all it is the leaders of
The country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to
Drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship
Or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship.
Voice or no voice, the people
Can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders.
That is easy.
All you
Have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the
Pacifists for lack of patriotism & exposing the country to danger
-Hermann Goering at the Nuremberg Trials
The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the
People from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the
Lie.
It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers
To repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by
Extension, the TRUTH becomes the greatest ENEMY OF THE STATE
— Dr. Joseph M. Goebbels
American foreign and defense policy is adrift.
We aim to change this.
We aim
To make the case and rally support for American global leadership.
The
United States stands as the world’s preeminent power.
Does the United
States have the resolve to shape a new century favorable to American
Principles and interests?
If we shirk our responsibilities, we invite
Challenges to our fundamental interests.
The history of the 20th century
Should have taught us that it is important to shape circumstances before
Crises emerge, and to meet threats before they become dire.
The history of
This century should have taught us to embrace the cause of American
Leadership
Left right left right left right
RIGHT?
