Destroying the Hypnobox

Torrents of opinion replacing fact Barons control all that scrolls on that crawl Silicon graphics--deceitful contract Prometheus stealing fire from all Tools of alarm promote profit-sharing Octopus minds plot for us to keep less Credulous masses need a good scaring Agendas provoked by careful duress Flirtatious hosts with no care for this world Reading the script that our owners have planned Digital mugging while flags are unfurled Send kids to die in some far-away land Empire building requires complicity They seek to captivate delicate minds Trust funds abound to buy publicity To grease-up the wheel till the war mill grinds Editors selling their duty for spin Get their grim orders from round table groups Twin tower fright proves a useful linchpin Raising the false-flag to sign up more troops Follow the money, their plan becomes clear Domination fuels their crusade for more Pipelines of oil cutting through the frontier Hide wealth behind the hoax of holy war Resist the program that boxes us in See the real world with a clear set of eyes Trust the brave soul that resides in your skin And watch the bright flame of liberty rise
