People raise your voices, don't get caught in that mess Like a fly in a spider's web, is it true more is less Herded like a happy flock to the big T.V. slaughter "Why don't you break that leash," said the heifer to the sheep
It's the will of the people It's the church with the steeple
People raise your voices, don't get into that trap If your friends and your neighbors push Why don't you push them back Don't you think the time has come Ain't no use to try and wait
It's the fear of the future It's just surgeons and sutures It's a lasting impression
Baptized in electronic water Prodigal sons and beautiful daughters With smiles and bows and rosy cheeks From the man whose voice sounds reassuring Completely firm and so alluring, Like's he's lived a thousand times before And seen the world from shore to shore With the calmness and tranquility that oozes credibility With the wisdom and the confidence that seem to scream out common sense And it makes you feel just like a babe Daddy holding you tight and safe Hush babe everything's all right, Daddy's gonna stay with you tonight Now he's got you by the balls, he can sell you anything at all From morality to diamond rings to genocide to magazines From religion to cosmology to the end of a democracy
It's a divine inspiration All the doctor's prescriptions All the mystic inscriptions It's the spandex obsession It's a lasting impression
