Lyrics
Free citizens of Planet Earth
Expressing solidarity with the inhabitants of Earth as free individuals.
The leptons in some base equation.
Referring to subatomic particles, suggesting a complex foundation in life's equation.
Bound by swaddling-chains from birth,
Describing the constraints imposed on individuals since birth, symbolized by swaddling-chains.
Unto travail and assentation.
Being obligated to labor and conform.
Given what they're taught to crave;
People desire what they are taught to crave.
Denied the truths they sorely need.
Individuals are deprived of essential truths.
Shown a future new and brave;
Presented with a new and brave future but pushed towards it blindly.
Frog-marched towards it at fool-speed.
Forced to move quickly towards the envisioned future without careful consideration.
If there's anyone else out there,
Seeking like-minded individuals disillusioned with the current state of affairs.
Disillusioned just like me;
Proposing a collective effort to change the prevailing situation.
It's time we tried to turn the tide,
Advocating for a change despite being a minority.
With an overwhelming minority.
Suggesting that a small, determined group can make a significant impact.
The masses are numb, their ethics awry.
Commenting on the numbness of the masses and their misguided ethics.
Nothing's as dumb as the Vox Populi.
Highlighting the foolishness of the collective voice (Vox Populi).
If there's anyone else out there,
Continuing the call for like-minded individuals to join the cause.
Aiming sawn-off philosophy;
Encouraging a philosophical approach to address issues.
Let's all unite and make things right,
Emphasizing the need for unity to correct societal wrongs.
With an overwhelming minority.
Reiterating the power of a determined minority to effect change.
No seed of hope nor ray of light.
Describing a bleak situation with no signs of improvement.
Scant succour from the blighted epoch.
Little support or comfort in a troubled era.
Rise like Socrates and fight;
Urging individuals to rise against hatred, likening it to Socrates choosing death over compromise.
Take hate's chalice laced with hemlock.
Suggesting a willingness to endure hardship for a just cause.
Mankind's retrograde ascent;
Describing humanity's backward progression, risking everything for uncertain gains.
We've wagered all for unseen winnings.
Highlighting the gamble on unseen benefits in the journey of evolution.
Evolution's youth misspent,
Criticizing the misdirection of evolutionary progress.
It's time to forge bold new-beginnings.
Calling for a bold new beginning in the face of misguided evolution.
If there's anyone else out there,
Repeating the call for like-minded individuals to join the cause.
Disillusioned just like me;
Reiterating the disillusionment and the need for collective action.
It's time we tried to turn the tide,
Advocating for a concerted effort to change the current situation.
With an overwhelming minority.
Stressing the potential impact of a determined minority.
Bolt from the herd bleating like sheep.
Advising individuals to break away from the conforming herd, risking criticism.
Hang for your words; Don't perish asleep!
Warning against silence and encouraging speaking out, even if it leads to consequences.
If there's anyone else out there,
Repeating the call for like-minded individuals to join the cause.
Aiming sawn-off philosophy;
Emphasizing a philosophical approach to address societal issues.
Let's all unite and make things right,
Reiterating the need for unity to correct societal wrongs.
With an overwhelming minority.
Underlining the potential impact of an overwhelming minority in effecting positive change.
