Re-Gaining Unconsciousness

First they put away the dealers Keep our kids safe and off the streets Then they put away the prostitutes Keep married men cloistered at home Then they shooed away the bums Then they beat and bashed the queers Turned away asylum-seekers Fed us suspicions and fears We didn't raise our voice We didn't make a fuss It's funny there was no one left to notice When they came for us Looks like witches are in season You better fly your flag and be aware Of anyone who might fit the description Diversity is now our biggest fear Now with our conversations tapped And our differences exposed How ya supposed to love your neighbor With our minds and curtains closed? We used to worry 'bout big brother Now we got a big father and an even bigot mother And still you believe This aristocracy gives a fuck about you They put the mock in demockracy And you swallowed every hook The sad truth is you would rather Follow the school into the net Cause swimming alone at sea Is not the kind of freedom you actually want So go back to your crib and suck on a tit Go bask in the warmth of your diaper You're sitting in shit and piss While sucking a giant pacifier A country of adult infants A legion of mental midgets All regaining their unconsciousness
