Challenging Authority: Embracing Freedom or Conformity?
Lyrics
It's an illusion you command
Perceived control is deceptive, not real
You're own fate that we planned
Your destiny is predetermined by us
Complex collusion, a weakened state
A complicated conspiracy weakens your position
All you love is all you hate
What you cherish is also what you despise
Symbiosis, we must approve
Mutual dependence is necessary for approval
What you think, all you do
Your actions and thoughts are under scrutiny
Poor prognosis is much improved
A negative forecast is now more positive in our perspective
In our view
According to our viewpoint
Trust us, it's for your own good
We assert it's in your best interest
To make a better choice than you would
We guide you to make choices better than your own
We'll tell you what to do today
We dictate your actions for today
Obey, obey
Comply, follow instructions
Or we'll take it all away
Non-compliance will result in losing everything
Public safety is our goal
Our aim is public safety
Want you warm, want you whole
We want you healthy and complete
Social contracts are a lie
Social agreements are deceptive
When you're born until you die
From birth until death, these agreements hold
Not too smart, not too dumb
Be average, neither too intelligent nor ignorant
Do your job until you're numb
Perform your tasks until you're emotionally numb
Buy our products, simple drone
Consumerism, be a simple follower
And don't groan
Suppress any discontent
Trust us, it's for your own good
We claim it's for your benefit
To make a better choice than you would
We direct you to make superior choices
We'll tell you what to do today
We prescribe your actions for today
Obey, obey
Follow instructions, conform
Or we'll take it all away
Resistance will result in losing everything
You are so weak without us
You're dependent and vulnerable without us
Not unique, make no fuss
Don't assert individuality, conform quietly
Look at how you've grown
Reflect on your growth without expressing dissent
Don't speak, don't speak
Stay silent, don't speak out
Don't speak against us
Do not voice opposition against us
Trust us, it's for your own good
We insist it's for your welfare
To make a better choice than you would
We guide you to make choices superior to your own
We'll tell you what to do today
We instruct your actions for today
Obey, obey
Conform, obey
Or we'll take it all away
Defiance will result in losing everything
Trust us, it's for your own good
We maintain it's for your well-being
To make a better choice than you would
We guide you to make choices superior to your own
We'll tell you what to do today
We prescribe your actions for today
Obey, obey
Comply, follow instructions
Or we'll take it all away
Non-compliance will result in losing everything
You should have known you aren't alone
You should have realized you are not isolated
You should have known you aren't alone
You should have recognized you are not alone
