20 Second Century
My eyes swept across the hall
A whole nation up against the wall
This evolution hasn't changed a bit
The straightjackets still a perfect fit
Used in numbers to maintain the peace
Cruelty is taken in with ease
When disagreeing voices start to cry
They rot in sonic silence right until they die
Words unspoken
Of living in the rough
Still we're here...
The 20 second century!
A medieval tyranny
Is watching and dictating
All we survey
There is an army standing guard
To take our hopes and dreams apart
The key to survival is stand and obey
Art and literature controlled by fire
Originators shot by guns for hire
The thinking people is a deadly threat
To a cold regime so obsoletely led
One day you'll decline
And we'll be first in line
To turn off this madness
But still we're here...
The 20 second century!
A medieval tyranny
Is watching and dictating
All we survey
There is an army standing guard
To take our hopes and dreams apart
The key to survival is stand and obey
Still we're here...
The 20 second century!
A medieval tyranny
Is watching and dictating
All we survey
There is an army standing guard
To take our hopes and dreams apart
The key to survival is stand and obey
