[bodytext] => When show biz is warlike And war just a show Do we still have a world That we all want to know? When men in power tell lies And media agrees What’s in the future But a world on its knees? When power is all And truth is a game Can we respect leaders That exhibit no shame? When they say 'Only one way” All else is unpatriotic Havn’t they made democracy Into something psychotic? When freedom is controlled By witch hunts and spies Is it right THEY tell US What’s truth and what’s lies? When we all feel fear And want protection Do they then manipulate Without our detection? When the powerful elites See their chance to control Is this then how it feels To lose our own soul? When dictators get power We see it over and over They manipulate the facts To provide them with cover When they start to preach That what’s good for them Is good also for the state You realise an imminent fate When you were free and able to choose And the time grew SO grave Did all their so-called “protection” Make of you their SLAVE?
