Passive Resistance

Nothing can be further removed, not everybody wants to be soothed ooooh

they're out there now in their padded cells and armchairs

Waiting for the nervous twitch that signals fear

Hooked up to a cardiogram set up so it cuts out when you cry or laugh

Worked by those who if you screw up treat you to a broken nose

If you tap your toes

Passive resistance! If it's not for them then it's not for you

Passive resistance! Where the only view is the right view

Passive resistance! And it breaks my heart to know there's no heart involved

Put the demographics away, the directors and consultants have the final say

Hired in, take home all the ones who missed for souvenirs, for their kids to play

Passive resistance! It's all programmed by programmers

Passive resistance! You're just a nail underneath their hammers

Passive resistance! And it breaks my heart to know there's no heart in them

Nothing can be further removed, not everybody wants to be soothed

Oooh they must be real, people that you never meet and never feel

And they don't feel you

Passive resistance! You get surveyed out of existence

Passive resistance! Just one in a million silent listeners

Passive resistance! It's all programmed by programmers

Passive resistance! You're just a nail underneath their hammers

Passive resistance! And it breaks your heart

To know there's no heart involved, involved, involved
