Yo, hello?

You don't have to have a gun to your back to be a slave.
It's not that necessary if that's all people want from you.
A lot of things that seem harmless are quite more dangerous than you might think
Pop Culture, look what's on the television, the radio, and the magazines,
Everywhere you go what do you see?
The same, and more nonsense to cloud your mind from the reality
A fantasy for people to keep facing.
Forget about the war, forget how hard it is to get by
Just keep dancing and keep eye. That's all they tell you

Not everybody buys it. Some people raise their own voice and create their own culture
Something that has to do with them and how they see the world
Then the system takes it and sells it back in a plastic, safe, white wash form
Now it's pop culture, introducing the same values, that everything's ok
The cop is your friend, your boss is your friend. Law and order

All we can really hope for is that some people won't take it
when the system tries to take their voice and sell it back to them in silence.
