Behind Enemy Lines

Not interested in politics or don’t want to fucking face it

But if we don’t stand against oppression we might as well embrace it

When we act as if it doesn’t affect us we do nothing but pretend

Because there’s not a single place on earth that doesn’t belong to them

Governed by the policies of an ignorant bigoted few

Targeted by the tactics they so willingly abuse

They manipulate our means of survival, discourage our desire to react

And insure our lack of involvement by keeping our apathy intact

Fuck what you think you know-don’t want to deal with politics?

Fuck what you think you know-but there’s no escape

Fuck what you think you know-where do you think you’re going to hide?

Fuck what you think you know-we’re behind enemy lines

Lines are all they feed us when politicians speak of freedom

Masquerading as democracy’s guardians to make it seem as if we need them

They’re out to save us from ourselves and contradict our common sense

As bureaucracy batters self-reliance at everyone’s expense

Fuck what you think you know-don’t want to deal with politics?

Fuck what you think you know-but there’s no escape

Fuck what you think you know-where do you think you’re going to hide?

Fuck what you think you know-we’re behind enemy lines

What can we hope to accomplish when fighting in a war

Where those who we are fighting against are also the ones we’re working for

People reach their breaking point when they’ve got nothing left to lose

So they sedate us with tiny victories that keep us all defused

Diverting our attention away from their power that they defend

Fearing what we’re capable of if we didn’t depend on them

Fuck what you think you know-don’t want to deal with politics?

Fuck what you think you know-but there’s no escape

Fuck what you think you know-where do you think you’re going to hide?

Fuck what you think you know-we’re behind enemy lines
