Agorapocalypse Now

All avenues blocked off

Following the stench of profit

Forward thinking impaired

All minds closed tight

Charcoal blinders on

Widespread hearing loss

Suffocating stagnation

The world stops turning

Ready to pull the trigger

Slip our necks in the noose

Happy to oblige

If there's no other way

Orwell's nightmare

Slowly reveals itself

At an end! No other way!

Unadvanced

Kept in the past

No real change

To our day-to-day

Brains retreat

Old forms of defeat

We believe

What we're told to see

Trudge to work, watching our feet

Nothing to look at up above our heads

Plugged in to our beloved lifeline

Never noticing the future at an end

At an end! No other way!
