Brainwashed

The washing machine is running
With all our brains inside
Getting a good old washing
From the Media powder on the side

The box says use two scoopfuls
How much more cr*p do our brains require
Surely if they’re washed some more
They will not be able to enquire

Our thoughts are rinsed away
Then the softener hits us hard
Making us believe in lies
The truth for us is marred

We are each and everybody
Brainwashed every passing day
By the Media and Politicians
As we work to earn their pay
