It starts with the suppression of feelings
Spontaneity slowly eroded
By the condescending lies
Told by parents everywhere
Taught how to feel, how to react
Who you like, and who you hate
To always wear a stupid false smile
or else... you’ll never get anywhere
We remain your obedient servants
We remain your obedient servants
We remain your obedient servants
We remain your obedient servants
At school they try to fill you facts
Anything to stop you thinking
What’s the use of this information?
The ultimate aim - a television game show
Now don’t ever think about your death
Smile and laugh and always be nice
It’s all to prepare you ...
For the commercialisation of friendliness
We remain your obedient servants
We remain your obedient servants
We remain your obedient servants
We remain your obedient servants
The word emotional now means unbalanced
And truth has become relative
We think we’re free in our democracy
Not slaves to an invisible authority
Freedom of expression only counts
Freedom of expression only counts
Freedom of expression only counts
...If we’ve our own thoughts to express
We remain...
