dependence upon a structure that you have to trust So if you try to destory our system going to take you with us The public relations industry studies our every Constantly advising corporations how they can Their profits, their monopolies, uncompromising growth And how to beed the for everything they're worth Their wealth off of our labor and our willingness to consume Manipulated by every medium the public assume That their innocent, unbiased forums exist solely to While the industries we for are just out to reclaim The they've paid us to produce the markets demands Every cent we've ever earned makes it back into their their wealth, enhancing their claim, achieving their domination Maintaining power, maintaining their reign, they're gaining from exploitaton humanity for the good of industry Is the fault the of them or our own stupidity Do they that much influence over everything we do Are the consequences of our actions ever really thought Do we truly understand how one can make a difference By developing individual thought from outside interference Our own struggle for survival comples us to it Should our compassion be in for profit you are the victim of your government's attack It should only be to want to fight back But they've relentlessly progammed you your entire existence We tried to a difference but what have we actually achieved Have we put up any obstacles or just helped them to Have we constructed any or just built another wall Have our and our ideals accomplished anything at all Have we ever our leaders to change a single thing Have we ever been a or just puppets on a string Have we all of our time painting pictures for the blind While created isolation have we changed a single mind we had enought sense to learn from our mistakes Are we prepared for personal sacrifices no matter what it Are we willing to together putting differences aside Or is compormise too much to rish damaging our Do we have enough hope to find trust in someone else Do we have the compassion to fight the problems that don't directly ourselves Have we ever stood a chance or our efforts been naive Have we bought into their lies of they tell us to believe It still is your option what to choose Don't let the only yo make be in your views Like if you can't fight why bother to try You can learn from the hypocracies you to deny Is it all a or do you actually mean it Do your ideals only surface it's politically convenient stuck in society's trap and although you're tryin to cope If you can't change yourself, lose more than just hope So the time you're down on your knees just remember The plight of the oppressed ends the oppressor And if it's easier for you to live that oppression they've already got you as their possession
