Freedom is wrapped within their clutches once again
And they're clawing and they're feeding on your virtue from within
You take liberty for granted and they will take it away
Whilst you claim your fellow man's the one to blame
The norms they'll put in place but never rationally explain
Their fingers cling only to selfish gain
They feed upon your misery
Promising you sanctuary
Relish in the insanity
And silence those who dare to speak
The lies that they weave
They're blinding you and me
Unable to see
The true enemy
Wash away tradition put madness in its place
And drain away the tried and true to save your own face
The fear and the violence they leave in their wake
Distract and deflect from what's really at stake
The norms they'll put in place but never rationally explain
They'll never rationally explain
Their fingers cling only to selfish gain
They feed upon your misery
Promising you sanctuary
Relish in the insanity
And silence those who dare to speak
The lies that they weave
They're blinding you and me
Unable to see
The true enemy
Pointing the finger they mark the oppressed
They lead a future where mankind will retrogress
Making a tyranny under the sun
With liberty and justice for none
The norms they'll put in place but never rationally explain
Moving the goalposts again only for selfish gain
They feed upon your misery
Promising you sanctuary
Relish in the insanity
And silence those who dare to speak
The lies that they weave
They're blinding you and me
Unable to see
The true enemy
