When Fear Becomes the Law

A good and decent man falls down on his luck
He did everything right, but everything went wrong
Someone else must be to blame

He turns on the tv, and likes what he sees
It's not his fault that he went to work drunk
He's just another victim of the world's evil cabal

Sycophants and talking heads, tell you what you see isn't real
In search of a new reality
Lies beget fear and with fear comes anger gone is objective truth
The final step in this dance of deceit, is when fear becomes the law

Sinking deeper into the internet with despair
The more unhinged the idea
The more he thinks there's something there
He is one of the chosen
Not even god could sway them from their insane crusade

Politicians
Spouting nonsense
From the fringe

Adding validity to the craziness for their constituents to binge

Only way
They can win
Is with fear

If votes don't count, they can never lose
They want to grind democracies gears

Sycophants and talking heads, tell you what you see isn't real
In search of a new reality
Lies beget fear and with fear comes anger gone is objective truth
The final step in this dance of deceit, is when fear becomes the law

The simple man is broken
When all the lies he believes in don't come true
He's been pushed to the brink, he's lost all he has
There is only 1 thing left to do
When he finally realizes, there is no one left to blame
He puts the gun to his head, pulls the trigger
He finally escapes the lies and the shame

They corrupt the process and sow doubt
To justify new bills born from insane lies
To break the system and burn it all down
Fear has now become the law
