From the album "World Of Wonders")



you've got covert action

prejudice to extremes

you've got primitive cunning

and high tech means

you've got eyes everywhere

but people see through you



you've got good manipulators

got your store of dupes

you've got the idiot clamour

of your lobby groups

you like to play on fears

but people see through you



you've got instant communication

instant data tabulation

you got the forces of occupation

but you don't get capitulation

cause people see through you



you've got the sounding brass

you've got the triumph of the will

you do what you want to

and we pay the bills

you hype the need for sacrifice

but people see through you



you've got anti-matter language

contrived to conceal

you've been lying so long

you don't know what's real

you're a figment of your own imagination

and people see through you



you've got lip service tributaries

you've got death fetish mercenaries

you hold the tickets to the cemetaries

you're BIG and BAD and SCARY

but people see through you
