The True Theory of Relativity
Inside a padded cell is a man who doesn't fit
He tried looking at the world and he couldn't understand it
He struck out at authority because he couldn't take any more
Meanwhile people are starving, and food is rotting behind locked doors
"Insanity" is relative to what's perceived as the norm
If our "leaders" are the lunatics, how do we convince them they're wrong?
Power lies in the hands of industrialists and politicians
The system's run on the basis of theft and corruption
Yet the prisons are full of people doing time
For protesting against injustice or for non-payment of fines
"Crime" is relative to what's perceived as the norm
If our "leaders" are the criminals, how do we convince them they're wrong?
If you hear "fuck" on the TV, or see nudity on the screen
Then the conservative establishment will complain that it's obscene
Meanwhile, the TV news sanitises the horrors of war
They award knighthoods for the butchery, and the public sit eager for more
"Obscenity" is relative to what's perceived as the norm
If our "leaders" are obscene, how do we convince them they're wrong?
They've got away with murder right from the start
So now it's time to confront them and tear their society apart
He tried looking at the world and he couldn't understand it
He struck out at authority because he couldn't take any more
Meanwhile people are starving, and food is rotting behind locked doors
"Insanity" is relative to what's perceived as the norm
If our "leaders" are the lunatics, how do we convince them they're wrong?
Power lies in the hands of industrialists and politicians
The system's run on the basis of theft and corruption
Yet the prisons are full of people doing time
For protesting against injustice or for non-payment of fines
"Crime" is relative to what's perceived as the norm
If our "leaders" are the criminals, how do we convince them they're wrong?
If you hear "fuck" on the TV, or see nudity on the screen
Then the conservative establishment will complain that it's obscene
Meanwhile, the TV news sanitises the horrors of war
They award knighthoods for the butchery, and the public sit eager for more
"Obscenity" is relative to what's perceived as the norm
If our "leaders" are obscene, how do we convince them they're wrong?
They've got away with murder right from the start
So now it's time to confront them and tear their society apart
