The Con

Yeah, welcome to the con

A world full of false hope and double speak

But underneath the words that you just heard

You'll see what something means, and that's a fuckin' scheme

Basically they say that they're protecting all our freedoms

While they're taking 'em away

Send your baby off to war, oh wow, he dies

And Obama gets to win a Nobel Peace Prize

It's a fuckin' joke, nope, wow, these eyes

Are open now, I'm grown up, man, you won't sell me lies

In the meantime, the world's waitin'

To see what the future's gonna hold for its nations

With some on the topic of immigration

It seems xenophobes are the problem that we're all faced with

So we all band together to embrace it

And join in the fight against racists and hatred

And in truth, this oasis we're chasin'

Just really means globalisation

It's basic, they know how your mind works, so they shape it

Right from our cot, they got us locked within this matrix

It's like we can't escape it, every single day it's

All over the news and spread across the papers

No wonder people wanna spend their nights sedated

In a trance, goin' brain dead from entertainment

Our masters have trained us to love our enslavement

It's so far gone that how the fuck can you save us?

When you can only either choose

Between a bunch of soulless politicians

And controlled opposition, in the end, what's the difference?

When they're ruled by a fund creating money out of thin air

And the way that money's handled is so underhanded

You start to feel like nothing's random once you understand it

In amongst all the payoffs and chaos

There's always something we should be afraid of

Is it war zones or Al-Qaeda, Islamic State

Pesticides, GMOs, vaccines, climate change

Sometimes it's hard to tell what's real and what's not

With all the stuff that's concealed and whatnot

So while we're lost in this mass of confusion

The story goes problem, reaction, solution, before you know it

Our sense of morality is gradually decaying

From all this subversion and perversion

As we plug in and switch off

Doped up on alcohol, violence, sex, drugs and hip-hop

We've been conned by these ideas that they wanna plant

And from the land of the free, they feed us their propaganda

And while we can't see eye to eye

They sit and watch our world fall apart by design

So I'm sorry for the diatribe

But I really feel like we just can't afford to bide our time

And nitpick little things and get sidetracked

I just want you to see the bigger picture like IMAX

And realise that your mind's bein' hijacked

And used as a means to an end that we're comin' to

'Cause the idea of tyranny is nothin' new

They say that better days are comin', but it's just a ruse

So you can either start uncoverin' the fuckin' truth

Or just be another sucker, it's up to you
