Regaining Unconsciousness

First they put away the dealers,

Keep our kids safe and off the street.

Then they put away the prostitutes,

Keep married men cloistered at home.

Then they shooed away the bums,

Then they beat and bashed the queers,

Turned away asylum-seekers,

Fed us suspicions and fears.

We didn´t raise our voice,

We didn´t make a fuss.

It´s funny there was no one left to notice

When they came for us.

Looks like witches are in season,

You better fly your flag and be aware

Of anyone who might fit the description,

Diversity is now our biggest fear.

Now with our conversations tapped

And our differences exposed,

How ya supposed to love your neighbor

With our minds and curtains closed?

We used to worry ´bout big brother,

Now we got a big father and an even bigger muther.

And still you believe

This aristocracy gives a fuck about you.

They put the mock in demockracy

And you swallowed every hook.

The sad truth is you would rather

Follow the school into the net

Cuz swimming alone at sea

Is not the kind of freedom you actually want.

So go back to your crib and suck on a tit

Go bask in the warmth of your diaper.

You´re sitting in shit and piss

While sucking a huge pacifier,

A country of adult infants.

A legion of mental midgets

All regaining their unconsciousness
