The paranoia is in bloom, the PR
Paranoia is in bloom,
The transmissions will resume
The PR transmissions will resume
They'll try to push drugs
They'll try to, push drugs that keep us all dumbed down
Keep us all dumbed down and hope that
And hope that, we will never see the truth around
We will never see the truth around

Another promise, another seed
(So come on)
Another, packaged lie to keep us trapped in greed
 
And all the, Green belts wrapped around our minds
Another promise, another scene, another
And endless, red tape to keep the truth confined
A packaged lie to keep us trapped in greed
(so come on)
With all the green belts wrapped around our minds
...and endless red tape to keep the truth confined

Interchanging mind control
Revolution take its toll if you could
Come let the, revolution takes its toll

If you could, flick the switch and open your third eye
You'd see that
We should never be afraid to die
We should never be afraid to die

Rise up and take the power back
 
It's time the fat cats had a heart attack
Rise up and take the power back, it's time that
They know that their time's coming to an end
The fat cats had a heart attack, you know that
We have to unify and watch our flag ascend
Their time is coming to an end, we have to
Unify and watch our flag ascend

Lyrics

Possibly Incorrect [4]

Paranoia is in bloom,
The PR transmissions will resume
They'll try to, push drugs that keep us all dumbed down
And hope that, we will never see the truth around
(so come on)
Another promise, another seed
Another, packaged lie to keep us trapped in greed
And all the, Green belts wrapped around our minds
And endless, red tape to keep the truth confined
(so come on)

They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious
so come on

Interchanging mind control
Come let the, revolution takes its toll
If you could, flick the switch and open your third eye
You'd see that
We should never be afraid to die
(so come on)

Rise up and take the power back
It's time the fat cats had a heart attack
They know that their time's coming to an end
We have to unify and watch our flag ascend

They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not enslave us
We will be victorious

They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They can not control us
We will be victorious
