The New Brutality |
They’ve got an army of accountants counting matchsticks, |
And an arsenal of distraction tactics. |
They’ll use our senses against us: |
Manipulating desire and consensus. |
And they’ll use guns, |
They’ll use tear gas. |
I can hear the sound of boots on broken plate glass. |
We’ll use song as inspiration. |
To be the rust in their machines is our intention. |
It’s time. |
We’ve got to set it right, but these devils can’t be fought with fists. |
Dissent; |
they want to shut it down. |
Just run your mouth, boy, you’ve made their list. |
I lie down with one eye open now, |
I know that sleep is the cousin of death. |
The hammer’s swinging down… |
Fight back until your last breath. |
You wonder why we always play it safe? |
Our comforts are tying us down, |
And holding us back. |
