Dependency and Control Lyrics

Playing out in perpetuity

We get scared – we want security

So we trade all our liberty

Get played like a fiddle eternally

All the programming leaves us transfixed

Remote control of dim wits

That business of show – that's politics

Against plebs, the game's fixed

Stories get sold dishonestly

To make us scream for state managed equality

Raining down through laws rules and policy

Criminalising human autonomy

We say we know that politicians only speak in lies.

But almost everyone likes to be subsidised

And most are happy for their lives to be more supervised –

And for power to be ever more centralised

Sucking us in, into a bad bet we can

Never win

We throw common sense – in the dust bin

We see a cage and we climb in

Dependency and control

Dependency and control

Digging ourselves a hole

Hiding in fear from the latest strain

Cos it's all about germs never the terrain

Subject of an experiment – yet again

And once again, they're pulling your chain

We mustn't look beyond the surface

Where would we be without our national death service?

We've all got to follow and worship this

Follow the clappers off a cliff – into the abyss

Our dependency is so ingrained

We think we love the institutions – that keep us chained

We're so well-conditioned and so well trained

With no awareness of history – goldfish brained

A con artist always connives

Every loving government always strives

To always take over more and more of our lives

So we can stand and watch while our freedom nosedives

Humans up for sale going cheap – mind body and soul

Many of us love to have others, in control

We see the bait and we swallow it whole

Dependency and Control

(Dependency means control)

Dependency and Control

Dependency and Control

(You'll never misbehave when you're on the payroll)

The state gets more control from telling more lies

When foolish people then hand over more control of their lives

Amazing how many people simple bribery buys

Not very wise with pound and dollar signs stuck in their eyes

The bigger the lie the more people will buy

Like say a molecule of life will cause the planet to die

Or a fairly mild illness will make us all drop like flies

People are not very astute or very streetwise

Previous puppets' mistakes these guys can't undo

But please know that it's oh so true

Everything they did, they only did it for you.

Lying to the last breath as their faces turns blue

We keep on buying every crisis they invent

Seeing them as being of good intent

And while dream the dream we've always dreamt

We're being ruthlessly groomed by government

Public spending just so extravagant

Big strings are attached to any claimed present

So much bullying and micro-management and

When we disagree the state's gonna get violent

While you adjust to life as powerless prole

Trying desperately to stay on the state payroll

Remember it can only dish out things it plans to steal

Or what it already stole

We think that more government will make it all good

And we'll all just receive everything we should

But they're not they don't serve the poor they're not Robin Hood

They'll take your property and life like only they could

They're being open more – hardly bother with stealth

Communism isn't good for your freedom or wealth

Carbon taxes are just taxes on life itself –

So not conducive to your good health

Dependency and control
