If the alarm is raised one day without a warning
who will be on the boat?
they're telling us just enough to keep us working
to oil the machine
they're playing us and force-feeding us horror stories
to keep us on our toes
because they know that panic makes us bypass logic. .
whose holding the keys?
I guess we will never know
They're blinding us, with puppet's that obscure the purpose
can't fight what you can't see
this precious ground that someone designated holy
Is just Oil to them ..
Distracting us with fairy tales and the specifics
and how they should be told
enshrined in law, so medicine is rationed and controlled
who profits from this?
I guess we will never know
