The Con - PEZ

Yeah, welcome to the Con

A world full of false hope and double speak

Where underneath the words that you just heard you’ll see what something means

And that’s a fucking scheme, basically they say

That they’re protecting all our freedoms while they’re taking them away

Send your baby off to war, oh wow, he dies

And Obama gets to win a Nobel Peace Prize

It’s a fuckin' joke, nope, wow these eyes

Are open now, I’m grown up, man you won’t sell me lies

In the meantime the world’s waitin'

To see what the future’s gonna hold for its nations

With some at odds on the topic of immigration

It seems xenophobes are the problem that we’re all faced with

So we all band together to embrace it

And join in the fight against racists and hatred

But in truth this oasis we’re chasin'

Just really means globalisation

It’s basic, they know how your mind works so they shape it

Right from our cot they got us locked within this Matrix

It’s like we can’t escape it, every single day it’s

All over the news and spread across the papers

No wonder people want to spend their nights sedated

In a trance, going brain dead from entertainment

Our masters have trained us to love our enslavement

It’s so far gone, now how the fuck can you save us

When you can only either choose between

A bunch of soulless politicians and controlled opposition

In the end what’s the difference?

When they’re bought by a fund, creatin' money out of thin air

And the way that money’s handled is so underhanded

You start to feel like nothing’s random once you understand it

And amongst all the pay offs and chaos

There’s always something we should be afraid of

Is it warzones or al qaeda Islamic state

Pesticides, GMOs, vaccines, climate change

Sometimes it’s hard to tell what’s real and what’s not

With all the stuff that’s concealed and what not

So while we’re lost in this mass of confusion, the story goes

Problem, reaction, solution before you know it

Our sense of morality is gradually decayin'

From all this subversion and perversion

As we plug in and switch off

Doped up on alcohol, violence, sex, drugs, and hip-hop

We’ve been conned by these ideas that they wanted planted from the land of the

free they feed us the the propaganda

And while we can’t see eye to eye

They sit and watch our world fall apart by design

So I’m sorry for the diatribe

But I really feel like we can’t afford to bide our time

And nitpick little things and get sidetracked

I just want you to see the bigger picture like iMax

And realise that your mind’s being highjacked

And used as a means to an end that we’re coming to

'Cause the idea of tyranny is nothing new

They say that better days are comin', but it’s just a ruse

See you can either start uncoverin' the fuckin' truth

Or just be another sucker, it’s up to you
