Authority holds you down.

Its the product that you buy when you go and see your friends. And its scarier when its what brings you together. Its that newspaper you beleive because the Journalist's respected.
its the cop on the corner directing the traffic, its the lights that tell the pedestrian not to cross.
its the tv and your radio, when its on a mainstream channel.
its the right wing bigot, that tells you abortion is not for sale.
its the teachers that straps you or the metal detecters in hallways.
its the guns the kids bring to school sold to them by the bosses.

its the weapons we use to bomb the fuck out of third world countries we cooked up years ago.

its the tanks and troops in front of capitol hill
and the british airports the same.
meanwhile thousands are already detained from the wars america created in the past.

people sit and watch the future happened before thier eyes, but then the channel changes and the past is in thier mind.

So many people opposed to war, but some say lets just make changes.
they are the ones with the authority buried deep in thier brains.
they may come for you one night.

when their timing is right. they may dig great big pits like hitler and stalin and trotsky and america too.
don't forget mao and the marxists-lenninists.
so votre for le pen or bush or saddam cause when the time comes you should not be alarmed. but stay calm in your house with your toothpase and guns.
cause when the times right
deep in the night.
they may come for your dreams.
and in the black ravens of red white and blue,
you won't wake up, to anything new.

so

FUCK AUTHORITY!
