The greatest all-time mass delusion
Is the democratic process of
Selecting masters and institutions
Designed to keep us begging for
A little freedom
A second chance
A proper burial for our consciences
Direct inaction when you play by their rules
And your watered-down resistance turns to
Self destruction, losing sight of
A common cause, a common enemy
With no vestige of escape
And sinking faster every day
The only liberties we have
Are those we're willing to take
Your marches and your protests
For better or for worse
Won't be enough to break this
Self-inflicted curse
Direct inaction when you play by their rules
And your watered-down resistance turns to
Self destruction, losing sight of
A common cause, a common enemy
Direct inaction when you play by their rules
And your watered-down resistance turns to
Self destruction, losing sight of
A common cause, a common enemy
