Emancipation Of The Mind
Yeah, walls of suspicion, spandrels of doubt
Spasms of uncertainty, a world all inside-out
Ubiquitous confusion, heads in the sand
Self-appointed experts making claims they can't defend
Or even understand
Commons turned out to be a tragedy
Oh, the victims are easy to find
But the wellspring of true liberty
Is emancipation of the mind
Hey, chains of superstition all come undone
Vivid illumination that's brighter than the sun
Oh, a handicap of bigotry and prejudice
All becomes a hinterland, a smoky wilderness
The dominion of ignorance
The commons turned out to be a tragedy
Oh, the victims are easy to find
But the wellspring of true liberty
Is emancipation of the mind
It's a stalemate of morality
A debt for all mankind
These haughty mental shackles make us blind
To what is really right (go!)
Oh, the commons turned out to be a tragedy
Yeah, the victims are easy to find
But the wellspring of true liberty
Is emancipation of the mind
Oh, see what you can find
If you take a different line
Emancipation of the mind
Spasms of uncertainty, a world all inside-out
Ubiquitous confusion, heads in the sand
Self-appointed experts making claims they can't defend
Or even understand
Commons turned out to be a tragedy
Oh, the victims are easy to find
But the wellspring of true liberty
Is emancipation of the mind
Hey, chains of superstition all come undone
Vivid illumination that's brighter than the sun
Oh, a handicap of bigotry and prejudice
All becomes a hinterland, a smoky wilderness
The dominion of ignorance
The commons turned out to be a tragedy
Oh, the victims are easy to find
But the wellspring of true liberty
Is emancipation of the mind
It's a stalemate of morality
A debt for all mankind
These haughty mental shackles make us blind
To what is really right (go!)
Oh, the commons turned out to be a tragedy
Yeah, the victims are easy to find
But the wellspring of true liberty
Is emancipation of the mind
Oh, see what you can find
If you take a different line
Emancipation of the mind
