Fake Protest Song - Whyte Horses

A satellite works overtime

As a million eyes

Scan for paradise

In the blinding light

Say the sheltered voices

Unsatisfied

The children cry

And wonder why

They’ve been left aside

Did the parents know

They’d been all alone?

Little feet need air

Or they’ll never grow

All I need is a like or emoticon

Won’t you please help me say

That I’m someone

While I seek out the words

To put into my

Fake protest song

Oh, follow me

Help me be

Somebody

Computers talk

Across the sky

Patterns analysed

What a waste of time

To be all alike

Best to slip into

Another fake disguise

A billion words

Are swallowed whole

Everything is known

Faces turn to stone

As a rebel groans

Shouting «Plastic people

Will never know»

The wrong get done

With collective frowns

The knives are out

For another clown

It’s strange

How everybody

Knows my fake protest song

Oh, follow me

Help me be

Somebody

We live in a dream

Come, follow me

It’s so unique

Glide across this screen

This endless dream

How can you sleep?

Out of the dark

Lights are so bright

Everlasting vision

The lights calling me

Oh god

I think I’m falling

You never saw

It’s such a beautiful thing

Oh come to me

In your natural light

It’s a natural light

Never seen a light

Shining so pure

I will show you

Follow me

We can be free

Don’t follow me

We can be free
