Lyrics
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 And 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 And we will be victorious (Oi) x4 (Oi) x4 (Oi) x4 They will not force us They will stop degrading us They can not control us And we will be victorious (Oi) x4
