Lyrics

Servile, surveilled
Dumbed-down, curtailed
Screen-grabbed, down-ranked
Untagged, de-banked

Nothing to hide, nothing to fear
No one to censor, no one to smear
The revolution's been authorized
The future? Privatized

The consensus? Created
Reality? Curated
Every place you thought you belonged
Everything you thought you knew is wrong

Left is right, black is white
Inside out, hope is doubt
Back to front, the witches hunt

Truth stands on the gallows
Lies sit on the throne
Something in the shadows
Communicates by code

The unthinkable is now thinkable
The poison? It's drinkable
So, get with the program, get in sync
You'd better self-censor for wrong-think

Left is right, black is white
Inside out, hope is doubt
Below above, hate is love
Upside down, square is round
War is peace, west is east
Back to front, the witches hunt

Matt's as angry as ever, and rightly so. His social polemic is feckin spot on. 

How come there are so many "1" reviews?!?!?  Giving it a "1," seriously?!?!?  It's no (TT) Uncertain Smile, but for a band nearly 50 years in, pretty darn good.  

Great to hear a new track from his latest release on RP. A song filled with wisdom of today's times [need to get the lyrics added].

~ Dig! Such a groove! Hip lyrics, too! Thanks, RP!
