It's a crazy sort of world
we've got oh so much to say
Open your mouth - someone else's words are coming through
Watch the sunrise, but you are not awake
Reading your mind in a newspaper each day
You cannot decide - you are deceived
You cannot rely on all you believe
'cos you're not free
They can get you in your dreams
They can move you like the waves upon the sea
Though you don't understand the flow
They know all they need to know
- make you think your life's your own
And you thought you could debate
But they taught you who to hate
- the unemployed, unions and the state
Just to defend the precious way of life they hold so dear
Just when you thought you were safe there in your bed
A gargantuan gun is pointing at your head
You cannot deny this reality
You have to comply - you cannot leave
'cos you're not free
They can get you in your dreams
They can bounce you like a child upon the knee
Though they don't live down here with you
- they make their crust from all you do
Make you think their lies are true
Didn't you watch it on the news
- we'd kill each other just to buy a pair of shoes
The human race is falling down
So easily manipulated we can be
and don't think they don't know how
You cannot hid - you are the Hare
Trapped inside - you are ensnared
by some idiot Billionaire
They can get you in your dreams
They can turn you like a cog in a machine
though you don't think they'll touch your soul
- they have given you your goals
Make you think you're in control
They can get you in your dreams
They can stir you like the sugar in your tea
and though you know you are aware -
they made you think that you don't care
They can get you in your dreams
they can move you like the waves upon the sea
