Lyrics

Paranoia is in bloom

Paranoia is widespread and growing.

The PR transmissions will resume

Public Relations transmissions are about to resume.

They'll try to push drugs that keep us all dumbed down

There's an attempt to promote drugs that dull our awareness.

And hope that we will never see the truth around

The powerful hope we remain ignorant of the truth.

(So come on)

Encouraging action or participation.

Another promise, another seed

Repetition of false promises and deceptive beginnings.

Another packaged lie to keep us trapped in greed

Lies packaged to maintain societal greed and control.

And all the green belts wrapped around our minds

Nature (green belts) and bureaucracy control our thoughts.

And endless red tape to keep the truth confined

Red tape limits the spread of the truth.

(So come on)

Encouraging action or participation.


They will not force us

We will not be coerced.

And they will stop degrading us

We will not be degraded.

And they will not control us

We will not be controlled.

And we will be victorious

We will triumph over oppression.

(So come on)

Encouraging action or participation.


Interchanging mind control

Mind control is being swapped between people.

Come let the revolution take its toll

Calling for a revolution to have its impact.

If you could flick a switch and open your third eye

If you expand your perception, fear of death should vanish.

You'd see that we should never be afraid to die

Encouraging courage in the face of mortality.

(So come on)

Encouraging action or participation.

Rise up and take the power back

Encouraging a rise to reclaim power.

It's time the fat cats had a heart attack

The wealthy and powerful need a wake-up call.

You know that their time is coming to an end

Their era of dominance is ending.

We have to unify and watch our flag ascend

Unity is crucial as a symbol (flag) of resistance rises.

(So come on)

Encouraging action or participation.


They will not force us

We won't be coerced.

They will stop degrading us

We won't be degraded.

They will not control us

We won't be controlled.

And we will be victorious

We will triumph over oppression.

(So come on)

Encouraging action or participation.


(Hey, hey, hey, hey)

Repetition of encouragement and calls to action.

(Hey, hey, hey, hey)

-

(Hey, hey, hey, hey)

-

They will not force us

We won't be coerced.

They will stop degrading us

We won't be degraded.

They will not control us

We won't be controlled.

And we will be victorious

We will triumph over oppression.

(So come on)

Encouraging action or participation.


(Hey, hey, hey, hey)

Repetition of encouragement and calls to action.
