Blind Acceptance
“We run everything. We control the police. We control the military. Every politician is our puppet. War is not just big business it's our business. We profit from military spending and defense manufacturing. We collect the spoils of war, its up to you to fill the graves. Our industries may wreak havoc on the environment but it fills our coffers. So it's a necessity. Why should we care if some of the lesser folk suffer?”

“Every single person is being monitored. We see to that. There are five hundred thousand Surveillance cameras in London alone. We are always watching. We own the Internet. Every phone call, every text, every online post is recorded in our database. We know everything about you from your spending habits to the places you hang out. We can track you through your bankcard, your cell phone, your motor vehicle. You leave a trail of data with each step.”

“We are the ones that run your schools. You learn what we allow to learn. It would not suit us any other way. We own the media. We spread misinformation to keep the people confused and separated. Most of you care more about your favorite television show or sports team then what’s going on in the real world. For those that try to see between the lines we have a pill for that, for those that speak out, a prison. Be it through ignorance, fear, or apathy we control each and every one of you and we have you right where want you.”

One life to live under corporate control
To work and consume to fill in a role
Too complacent to notice you’re living a lie
Identity created by the products that you buy
Idolizing sports heroes and models in magazines
Dream about being famous on a television screen
Don't realize we are all victims of the class war
Taught to elevate the rich and hate each other for being poor

Fuck all their money to hell with the lies
It shouldn’t be business as usual we suffer and die

“From arms manufacturers to factory farms, pharmaceutical companies to car and heavy machinery makers, political lobbyists and energy giants. Monsanto provides 90% of the worlds GMO crops, whose health effects remain unknown, while Tepco in Japan dodges responsibility for nuclear material spilled into the Pacific Ocean. They are like Chevron who dumps billions of gallons of toxic chemicals into the Ecuadorian Amazon while refusing to clean up or compensate for what they have done. Caterpillar creates machines that rip apart the face of the earth and devour it from the inside out while the people at Koch industries fund climate change denial and dominate the American political landscape.”

We live in a consumer culture that can't sustain itself
Yet we race to purchase every product on the shelf
Generating trash without a second thought
Landfills grow in size with everything that's bought
Vivisectors force dogs to smoke cigarettes
Thousands die in Wal-mart sweatshops in Bangladesh
Impoverished nations see a rise in infanticide
Bee die off directly linked to Monsanto's pesticides
