Blindfolded

Sometimes people don’t want to hear the truth
because they don’t want their illusions destroyed
Friedrich Nietzsche

(from the archives)

how nice it feels to give up your will
to be blindfolded and restrained
surrendered to someone else

what a shame that for the majority
this submission is the standard
obeying the rules of society

they make us feel safe and secure
and protected against danger
by sharpening their laws

they surrounded us with cameras
and became the all seeing eye
to check we don’t go astray

manipulating us into obedience
they brought us to our knees
obeying a crazy institution

they intoxicated us with their lies
and keep our brains sedated
changing us into robots

buying the charade of democracy
we are caught in a web of lies
being puppets on a string

chained by their money and power
we are captivated by their rules
blindfolded fools we became

it’s time to break down this system
raise our voice against the scam
and the illusion of freedom

it’s time to create an honest world
founded on truth and respect
where equality is the law

it’s time to break free from their will
make an end to all this madness
and let love and justice rule
