[ Featuring Boris's Bitches ]
Playing out in perpetuity
We get scared - we want security
So we trade all our liberty
Get played like a fiddle eternally
All the programming leaves us transfixed
Remote control of dim wits
That business of show - that's politics
Against plebs, the game's fixed
Stories get sold dishonestly
To make us scream for state managed equality
Raining down through laws rules and policy
Criminalising human autonomy
We say we know that politicians only speak in lies.
But almost everyone likes to be subsidised
And most are happy for their lives to be more supervised -
And for power to be ever more centralised
Sucking us in, into a bad bet we can
Never win
We throw common sense - in the dust bin
We see a cage and we climb in
Dependency and control
Dependency and control
Digging ourselves a hole
Hiding in fear from the latest strain
Cos it's all about germs never the terrain
Subject of an experiment - yet again
And once again, they're pulling your chain
We mustn't look beyond the surface
Where would we be without our national death service?
We've all got to follow and worship this
Follow the clappers off a cliff - into the abyss
Our dependency is so ingrained
We think we love the institutions - that keep us chained
We're so well-conditioned and so well trained
With no awareness of history - goldfish brained
A con artist always connives
Every loving government always strives
To always take over more and more of our lives
So we can stand and watch while our freedom nosedives
Humans up for sale going cheap - mind body and soul
Many of us love to have others, in control
We see the bait and we swallow it whole
Dependency and Control
(Dependency means control)
Dependency and Control
Dependency and Control
(You'll never misbehave when you're on the payroll)
The state gets more control from telling more lies
When foolish people then hand over more control of their lives
Amazing how many people simple bribery buys
Not very wise with pound and dollar signs stuck in their eyes
The bigger the lie the more people will buy
Like say a molecule of life will cause the planet to die
Or a fairly mild illness will make us all drop like flies
People are not very astute or very streetwise
Previous puppets' mistakes these guys can't undo
But please know that it's oh so true
Everything they did, they only did it for you.
Lying to the last breath as their faces turns blue
We keep on buying every crisis they invent
Seeing them as being of good intent
And while dream the dream we've always dreamt
We're being ruthlessly groomed by government
Public spending just so extravagant
Big strings are attached to any claimed present
So much bullying and micro-management and
When we disagree the state's gonna get violent
While you adjust to life as powerless prole
Trying desperately to stay on the state payroll
Remember it can only dish out things it plans to steal
Or what it already stole
We think that more government will make it all good
And we'll all just receive everything we should
But they're not they don't serve the poor they're not Robin Hood
They'll take your property and life like only they could
They're being open more - hardly bother with stealth
Communism isn't good for your freedom or wealth
Carbon taxes are just taxes on life itself -
So not conducive to your good health
Dependency and control
