Demos

Here is where we make the news and

Here is where we tell you

When you're angry, when you're full of fear

Right here is where we rule over you

With an iron fist painted baby blue

A disarming kiss as we're

Raping you, here is where we

Take from you, the freedom that we promised you

Really, we're just trading you

Our lies for your truths

Here is where we break the news

The whole goddamn world is after you

Fear them, but keep thinking

We're protecting you, just sign

The dotted line, don't read

The fine print, it's irrelevant really

Right here is where we're selling

Your broken spirit on the nightly news

See how unsafe it is, just beyond our grip?

Here is where the promises end

When the last revolutionary bone in your body

Is broken, here is where the campaign trail ends

And you accept our dictatorship

When the final dissenting words pass

From your lips, remember who your enemy is

Certainly, I remember who took from me

Everything, under the guise of protecting me

From the enemy, and then

My friends, and at last

From me.
