Lyrics
They told you from the start just how to play your little part, give your money to their god, trust the government and nod when they send you into war it doesn't matter what it's for, you're a pawn in a game and the end is all the same, you're gonna kill a bunch of people in the middle of the night, kill them with Democracy no matter if it's right...
Because the government is waiting with a rifle at your head, you better sign the " trade agreement " or your Mother will be dead...you better tell the world your benefactor's been benevolent...for if you tell the Truth, you'll never be a family man again.
" Never Forget " the way they try and rule your life, always remember there's an answer to the strife, speak the truth no matter if they lock you in the joint...it's a moral obligation and you know that is the Point.
