bodyguard

So-called leaders with deceitful faces
Corruption in high places
Your hands filled with bribes, mouth pours out lies
Cause of all oppression now running for protection

-- David Hinds (Steel Pulse) 1984

I am the virus

 

Death misery and tears
Calculated waves of fear
Drawn up by think tanks
There's a darkness in the west
Oil swilling
Guzzling corporate
Central banking
Mind-fucking omnipotence


False flags and black ops
Tavistock manufactured shocks
Something's gone horribly wrong
Hot flashes for the neo-con
A population in deep denial
Contagion released from a vial


No one believes in 9/11
Steel frame buildings don't fall in seconds
Murderers in black robes decapitate innocents
The public's blank stare
Did you sleep okay last night, Mr. Blair?

I am the fury, the spirit of outrage
I am the fire
I am the virus
I am the furnace where resentment glows
I am the bias
I am the virus
I am the Hydra headed beast
I am the worm you can never delete
I am the danger that never sleeps

-- Killing Joke (2015)

open your eyes

 

Video games train the kids for war
Army chic in high-fashion stores
Law and order's done their job
Prisons filled while the rich still rob

Assassination politics
Violence rules within our nation's midst
Ignorance is their power tool
You'll only know what they want you to know

The television cannot lie
Controlling media with smokescreen eyes
Nuclear politicians picture show
The acting's lousy, but the blind don't know

 

Open your eyes, see the lies right in front of you
Open your eyes....

They scare us all with threats of war
So we forget just how bad things are
You taste the fear when you're all alone
They gonna get you when you're on your own

The silence of conspiracy
Slaughtered on the altar of apathy
You gotta wake up from your sleep
'Cause meek inherits earth six feet deep

 

-- Bators / James (Lords of the New Church) 1982
