Secret! Gonna keep this secret! You wanna start a riot? Gotta keep this secret! Shhhh! Alright… They’re posturing, demanding transparency But do you really wanna see what lies beneath? The emperor is naked with a toothless grin But the spectre lingers on just below the surface There’s a horrific landscape lurking just beneath the veil They’ll sell you back the liberties you put up for sale It’s all the same, a different name, a different style But a distraction all the while Secret! Purse your lips and keep it! You wanna tear the system? You wanna live outside it? Get real, they’ll proclaim, dash your hopes and your dreams under fists of disdain Keep your passion secret, purse your lips and keep it! It serves them right, Alright… They label human rights as fascism as they bow down to the gods of capitalism They feed you what you want to hear, so comforting Force-feeding images of sweet prosperity When the corporations shell out the big money You've got one thing right, freedom isn't free There's a price on each and every politician's head And a corporate logo on their sleeve And the opposition postures like they’re doing God’s work, Tossing tea into the harbor in a passion play for jerks Masquerading as the voice of the working man But kick the feet out from under him again and again Murdoch's minions calling out the actions of the left As if there were really a difference Sell out the government to coorporate wealth And they do it in the open, there's no need to use stealth anymore And big brother knows what big brother knows And his cronies in communications aid and abet And big brother knows what big brother knows And his cronies in communications aid and abet (c) 2009 eveghost
