Dominoes
Peace of mind doesn't come at a clear price
The system's determined by the rolling of the dice
Chancing your arm and leg on being eligible
Swallowing the welfare's demands like they were edible
What drives to drink and drugs but this romance
In love and engrossed with our foes, we've got no chance
Befriending the C.W.O., mind hell-bent
Couldn't offer their courtesy if it was heaven-sent
Dole officers give them a turn of my shoes
They'll live the life of luxury with from nothing to choose
Choice eliminated, judgement impaired
From the gift of lack of self-trust, as witness I've beared
Rely on daddy state for pocket money legitimate source
Dodging redtape and jumping hoops in this obstacle course
Peel away shame and misery like dole office paint
As if to fight throw in the towel, the queue's not worth the wait
No expression but blaspheming and swearing to distant God
Coupled with your rights and confidence, education's downtrod
Or nonexistent - scumbags not worth opportunity
Not given half a chance in this so-called 'community'
Officials prescribe our liberty, we think we need them
You're independent, inside is unrestricted freedom
Governmental social control, H.S.E. the host
That's the reason why you have to secretly lower your dose
Collecting medicine, it hurts on every revolution
Your world stops turning - psychological pollution
Staring us in the face but we dare not look
Divert our attention, reality we cannot brook
You're blameless you're pure, your intuition's not wrong
Beneath that is truth - deep is where it should belong
It gets suppressed by confusion, doubt, prejudice
So long that it's a distant memory on which we reminisce
Simplify to succeed - from fear you will be freed
I need your ears to tend my voice - let this rhyme plant the seed

Who needs a free mind when I can get a mind for free
I stylised mine from an ad on TV
Let E Four, UTV Three, BBC brutalise
Put your thoughts on standby and invite their demise
Sky Plus induced emotional rush
Channel Four televised narcotics galore
Prostitute reality, fabricate the truth
Vacate your mind to a cavity - torn out branch and root
Empty for the next advertisement to occupy there
Lay its eggs of lies, mentally transfixed in a stare
Monotonous soap operas won't permit the antidote
Sitcom series benders, apathy's what they invoke
The news is informative, TV sport is life or death
Propaganda and reality shows are what's left
Manufactured opinions, readymade minds
Invisible bars are too restrictive to read between the lines
Synthetic sentiment phallus fast-food fanatic
One universal language subliminally pornographic
Don't touch the dial - stay with conventional station
We bring you sex lies sugarcoat infiltration
Material possession female objectification
Bacterial infection obsession fear intimidation
An advert calls you blemished stupid inadequate and plain
And you reward them by purchasing their product promoting their name
Don't need another corrosive coronation episode hypnosis
To erode the abyss with false bliss
And pessimistic mental wrist-slashing general gist
No specific direction- a vague sordid social impression
Braindead being rigor mortis in your head
Comatose conscience programmed puppet
Swallow what you're fed
Poison my mind
I'm way too inclined
To absorb all the lies, an agreement, my name is signed
Sell your soul to the man - now a beginning has began
Ignorance is bliss - couldn't care to give a damn
