Lyrics
The world is getting smaller
The world is becoming more interconnected.
The pressure is sublime
There is intense and profound pressure.
Some people want the way we think
Some individuals desire control over our way of thinking.
To be monopolized
They want to monopolize our thoughts.
Purveyors of convenience
Providers of convenience are influencing us.
A thousand talking heads
Various influential figures expressing opinions.
Would much prefer the customers
Prefer individuals with empty minds as consumers.
Whose brains are empty
Those with empty minds are easily manipulated.
Empty brains
People with empty minds are compliant and don't complain.
Don't complain
Encouraging people with empty minds not to voice dissatisfaction.
Are easy trained
Empty minds are easily trained and controlled.
Who controls the mindset
The one who controls collective thinking controls the established order.
Controls the status quo
The foundations of society are built on our collective influence.
The pillars of society
If we resist conformity, they lose control over our thoughts.
Are built on our say so
The stability of society is influenced by our actions and opinions.
If we refuse to play along
Refusing to conform undermines their control over our thoughts.
They lose the thought control
Imagination surpasses the desire to control the people.
Imagination overrides
Freedom of thought prevails over attempts to silence dissent.
The will to keep the people
The will to maintain silence among the people.
Nice and quiet
Encouraging people to remain calm and quiet.
And compliant
Desiring a compliant and non-defiant population.
Non-defiant
Encouraging non-defiance among the people.
They can put a line through sentences
The power to censor and control information.
Sentence those who write
Punishing those who express dissenting thoughts.
Delete the onscreen versions
Removing digital versions of opinions they disapprove of.
Of opinions they don't like
Control the contradictions that challenge conventional thinking.
Contain the contradictions
Declare certain ideas and actions illegal to control minds.
That open people's minds
Prevent contradictions that stimulate critical thinking.
Illegalize the actions
Making actions that follow non-conformity illegal.
That follow close behind
Restricting actions that challenge the established order.
They can put chains on your body
Physical restraint and persecution can be imposed.
Persecute your soul
Targeting the essence and spirit of an individual.
Ridicule your attitude
Ridiculing the attitudes that defy conformity.
But never get control
Despite efforts, true control over individuality is unattainable.
Of instinct intuition individuality
The innate qualities of instinct, intuition, and individuality cannot be fully controlled.
You can put a price on anything
Assigning value to everything is possible, but freedom of thought remains priceless.
But thought is free
The essence of thought cannot be constrained; it remains free.
