Lyrics

Close your mind to controversy
Don't express opinion just agreement
Good healthy views and morals
Join the system patronise don't antagonise
To place truth on the page
Is the food I chose the digest
To share my thoughts and cares
And inquire into what's best
Blinded by your cause
And numb to the effect
Your true destiny is beckoning
Beckoning all of you
The basis of human nature
To protect what is close precious
Intentions to defend and purify
Achieve and preserve innocence
To enforce your standards and beliefs
Onto an entire generation
Surely this makes you no better
Than Aryan dictators past
Blinded by your cause
And numb to the effect
Your true destiny is beckoning
Beckoning all of you
Individuals must choose their own
Controlled recreation holds no appeal
Preached regulations breed negativity
Abundant negativity produces animosity
Dare to manipulate the constitution
In my mind it sets a dangerous precedence
Restrain the pen, freedom pollution
In a hope to quell natural rebellion
Your aim is to culture future generations
Perfection without any race exception
Antiseptic for the mind and soul
Consists of tampering human ethics
To be able to collect all the opinions
The weapon of reason, learn to be friend
To blinker en masse a dangerous notion
For he who is blind cannot defend
Blinded by your cause
And numb to the effect
Your true destiny is beckoning
Beckoning all of you
