20 Second Century - Pyramaze

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
