(Selah quote)
Verse (0:35)
Public schooling in the States was borrowed from the Prussian model
Where students are units to be filled up because they're hollow
Compulsory attendance sculpting the brains beginnings
No varied experience; we got national testing
Mechanistic conditioning generations conscripted
And through peonage parent’s become unwitting participants
Discouraged from autonomous acts hence economics and work
Prolonged dependence; our power usurped
Subjects taught stripped out of all context
Trickle-down determinacy implementing the project
Homogeneous thought under the guise of equality
Eroding cultures like the concept of property
At odds with ideas by and for the populace
Undermines the concept of democracy
And it really doesn’t matter whether by effect or design
Just leave that aside
A bind is a bind
No collusion required!
2x (chorus) Well who’s gonna pay for the cost
We got a million bombs to drop, just par for the course
Got us playing multiple ways, and multiple games
And as long as we’re tamed, ain’t nothing gonna change
No!
(1:45) Mandatory education for the balance of youth, suppresses
Curiosity and eclipses the truth
Through too much food for thought
And not enough for experiences;
Restrictions on hugs; an artificial deleriousness
Study of the histories written for those who rephrased ‘em
Is Parti pris literacy in a national language
Just like L’Engle wrote in her pages
It promotes “The Sameness”
Creativity’s fading
Comparative thought of languages aborted aside
Conceptions inherent in them we need to get wise
Because it doesn’t matter whether by effect or design
Just leave that aside
A bind is a bind
No collusion required!
2x (chorus) Well who’s gonna pay for the cost
We got a million bombs to drop, just par for the course
Got us playing multiple ways, and multiple games
And as long as we’re tamed, ain’t nothing gonna change
No!
(2:43) The construction of contemporary nation-states
With it’s effects reflected in newspaper pages
Have as their basis the changes Horace Mann and Everett made
When they lobbied to mandate that children be tamed
Then the Board of Education created by Rockefeller and Gates
While claiming teaching pagans practical ways
To make their lives more beautiful
Blossoming, and useful
3 decades later aided Otmar von Verschuer
Now I don’t make it a point to throw our babies out with dirty water
But if you check out the names it kinda makes you wonder
Why are Mengele and the Polish flames
Sharing a ledger page with “humanitarian aid”
And that’s.. just what’s.. above.. the board.. if you look for yourself
Follow the wealth and the paper trail
But it doesn’t matter whether by effect or design
Just leave that aside
A bind is a bind
No collusion required!
(2x) Well who’s gonna pay for the cost
We got a million bombs to drop, just par for the course
Got us playing multiple ways, and multiple games
And as long as we’re tamed, ain’t nothing gonna change
No!
(Carlin quote)
Consider yourself, if the picture ain’t completed
Just stop believing your thoughts and begin to think
What are we under;
has something been covered;
Buried a mile beneath some narrative rubble?
The symptoms and signs
Found in “The Times”
Have causes, and observable elements
“What’s it made of?” is the relevant question
Because it doesn’t matter whether by effect or design
Just leave that aside
A bind is a bind
No collusion required!
(2x) Well who’s gonna pay for the cost
We got a million bombs to drop, just par for the course
Got us playing multiple ways, and multiple games
And as long as we’re tamed, ain’t nothing gonna change
No!
