a more positive song than usual...
lyrics:
when protesting parliament is banned, you know somethings wrong,
when taking photos of buildings is terrorism then somethings amiss,
we're free to do as we're told, or so it seems,
you gotta ask yourself, where did we go wrong, how did it come to this?
don't think it stops with cameras everywhere
or with state databases cataloguing our details,
they're moving to microchip the citizenry,
tracked, traced and barcoded on the road to tyranny
don't get scanned, don't give in
don't look at the cameras, don't say please,
we the people will not be chipped,
human race get off your knees
just don't get scanned, don't give in
and don't look at the cameras, don't say please,
we the people will not be chipped,
yeah, human race get off your knees!
there's no need for punching and bleeding and crying,
there's no need for hatred and falsehood and lying,
we take strength in numbers and unite as one,
and to put an end to the madness we just stop complying.
when commanded to submit, we just say no,
and channel our passion in a productive fashion
we put our foot down and say 'never'
to bring the empire down we gotta do it together
