We Do It To Ourselves

It’s not the message that is important
But the obedience shown towards it
Keep calm and blindly follow
To a safer more secure tomorrow
Share the burden, toe the line

We police ourselves through the fear of getting caught
We imprison ourselves so that we feel more secure
We oppress ourselves by doing as we’re told
We poison ourselves to get away from it all

It isn’t ideology that’s important
But the approval of their power when it’s supported
Work hard and save for a rainy day
You can have a little fun but just be back by Monday
Shaking hands and faking smiles

We exploit ourselves for we know not what we’re worth
We kill ourselves when there’s nowhere left to turn
We fear ourselves as our potential makes us scared
We behave ourselves and pretend we’re unaware

It’s just so easy to abandon hope
And become convinced that we wouldn’t cope
Without prisons or police, without borders or the state
We are political prisoners in our own head space
Burnt out, bummed out subverts serving time
Sentenced to Codeine days and Valium nights
Talk the talk but crawl the walk a jittering wreck
Revolution from the armchair anarchist sofa bed

We must start the fire that they need extinguished
Build a resistance they require relinquished
Be the thorn in their side that turns septic
We are the quiet ones at the back that you never suspected so you never expected

Wealth doesn’t trickle down when the well’s been tapped
Throw crumbs to the rats and watch the cat get fat
…………………………………………..………………………………….........
