Slave Nation

Grinding through the rough earth Ploughing on toward oblivion Under the whip of the masters Trudge on into the darkness Thunder crashing in your mind Your eyes too weak for the light A mole race of slaves You just live to serve Wish for some conspiracy to justify The global events that you do not understand When really at the top it’s just greedy bloated fools Fighting to control as much as they can steal The system is broken Your god is a lie Foundations made of quicksand The heaven you hoped Was never there at all Working your whole life for nothing You cannot deal with the dissonance of fact As it goes against your deepest beliefs Cling to that which you pray is the real truth Better to deceive yourself then change your mind
