You sustain these lies That have come from Mother Bigotry Of violence and control. You seek to demonise And tout with ruthless cynicism What you know will sell. It doesn’t say much for your beliefs If you think we’re all so weak But I guess that you don’t care, For people need to see the evil (In the scapegoat you create) Is different from them. So you’re free to speak - So you’re free to lie! This is, I guess The other side of the coin. Information this is not And it can’t be called informed, What kind of freedom is this That lets the witches burn?

It’s the sickness in the system Held up in knowing glorification, A standard for each of you to reach A gospel the perfect only preach, It’s the mark by which you gain admission By which outcasts condemned to prison. Paranoia breeds Under pressure You crack. Plants its seeds Plants its terror Under pressure You crack. It’s the sickness in the system Twisted synapses seek purification, A boundary for weaponry to breach A target that the lesson has to teach, It’s the mark beaten into submission By which outcasts freed from position. Thoughts of vengeance breed Under pressure You crack. Plants its seeds Plants its terror Under pressure You crack. There’s no more social capital For us to use Perceive the problem: Constant stream of abuse From the body-fascists And the plastic-artists …is there nothing left that’s real? A standard for each of you to reach A gospel the perfect only preach, A boundary for weaponry to breach A target that the lesson has to teach!
