20 Second Century
My eyes swept across the hall
A whole nation up against the wall
This evolution hasn't changed a bit
The straight-jackets still a perfect fit
Used in numbers to maintain the peace
Cruelty is taken in with ease
When disagreeing voices start to cry
They rot in sonic silence right until they die
Words unspoken of
Living in the rough
Still we're here
The twenty second century
A medieval tyranny
Is watching and dictating all we survey
There's an army standing guard
To take our hopes and dreams apart
The key to survival is stand and obey
Art and literature controlled by fire
Originator's shot by guns for hire
The thinking people is a deadly threat
To a cold regime so obsoletely led
One day you'll decline
And we'll be first in line
(To turn off this madness)
But still we're here
The twenty second century
A medieval tyranny
Is watching and dictating all we survey
There's an army standing guard
To take our hopes and dreams apart
The key to survival is stand and obey
Stand and obey
Still we're here
The twenty second century
A medieval tyranny
Is watching and dictating all we survey
There's an army standing guard
To take our hopes and dreams apart
The key to survival is stand and obey
The twenty second century
A medieval tyranny
Is watching and dictating all we survey
There's an army standing guard
To take our hopes and dreams apart
The key to survival is stand and obey
A whole nation up against the wall
This evolution hasn't changed a bit
The straight-jackets still a perfect fit
Used in numbers to maintain the peace
Cruelty is taken in with ease
When disagreeing voices start to cry
They rot in sonic silence right until they die
Words unspoken of
Living in the rough
Still we're here
The twenty second century
A medieval tyranny
Is watching and dictating all we survey
There's an army standing guard
To take our hopes and dreams apart
The key to survival is stand and obey
Art and literature controlled by fire
Originator's shot by guns for hire
The thinking people is a deadly threat
To a cold regime so obsoletely led
One day you'll decline
And we'll be first in line
(To turn off this madness)
But still we're here
The twenty second century
A medieval tyranny
Is watching and dictating all we survey
There's an army standing guard
To take our hopes and dreams apart
The key to survival is stand and obey
Stand and obey
Still we're here
The twenty second century
A medieval tyranny
Is watching and dictating all we survey
There's an army standing guard
To take our hopes and dreams apart
The key to survival is stand and obey
The twenty second century
A medieval tyranny
Is watching and dictating all we survey
There's an army standing guard
To take our hopes and dreams apart
The key to survival is stand and obey
