Dogmatic Slumber

Do you know what they're up to while we sleep?

They pass ‘free trade' legislation that favors the companies

Do you know what they're up to while we sleep?

They cut social programs to fund war technology

Do you know what they're up to while we sleep?

They inject genetically engineered hormones into everything we eat

Do you know what they're up to while we sleep?

They use our own money to pay for our defeat

Wake up from this dogmatic slumber

Stand up and face our enemies

Rise up we've got the numbers

Live up to what we could actually be

Do you know what they're up to while we sleep?

They embrace trickle down economics that maintain us as slaves

Do you know what they're up to while we sleep?

They treat the poor as criminals and give dictators parades

Do you know what they're up to while we sleep?

They bombard us with advertisements until our willpower succumbs

Do you know what they're up to while we sleep?

They utilize slave labor that keeps us competing for crumbs

Wake up from this dogmatic slumber

Stand up and face our enemies

Rise up we've got the numbers

Live up to what we could actually be

They exploit our differences to create more divisions

They keep us subservient with flags and religions

They threaten us with loss of our freedom and soul

They employ all of these tactics to keep their control

And once we're separated and contained by the systems oppressive tactics

Once the flame is extinguished and our leaders fucking have us

We're an unwilling contribution towards the system we despise

We're a part of the machine and our lives are fucking lies

Do you know what they're up to while we sleep?

They bomb civilian populations to secure a better price for oil

Do you know what they're up to while we sleep?

They wage nonstop war against activists until the dissidents recoil

Do you know what they're up to while we sleep?

They expose us to the biological weapons they manufacture in the lab

Do you know what they're up to while we sleep?

They steal our minds, destroy our bodies and leave us on the slab

Wake up from this dogmatic slumber

Stand up and face our enemies

Rise up we've got the numbers

Live up to what we could actually be
