Analysis of Delightful demolition



Bright computerized eyes
Censor and scrutinize

They record our actions to use against us
They contribute to all that is unjust

No one can undo the propaganda reprise  
How far will they go to ensure our demise?

They wish to silence our thought
Remind us, that of which we are not

Not rich, not powerful
They think we are just controlled and unmindful

They conjure plans of deceit, leave us with no choice
For what is a human without a voice?

They belittle us, distract us, they do not delay
They leave us with nothing left but to obey

They put masks to our mouths and our eyes and watches us stumble
Aroused as they watch our liberty crumble

They strip us of our rights from shore to shore
So Greed, their god will give them more

They sacrifice us “fools”, we embody their  distortion  
They, the masters of deception and coerción

Deliver us poison coated in sugar, like children we hastily delight
Corrupt our minds, we will be too poor, too feeble to fight  

WHO, they claim they help, they destroy
It is not safety, but demons they employ

Keep us peasants in darkness, eyes engorged
By keeping the media and the news forged

Ashes to ashes, but we will not fall down
Our numbers will rise and they be left to drown

We will rise like the phoenix, defenders of freedom
The chains will be broken from their tyrannical serfdom

We are not defenseless livestock for the taking
We are The People, that are finally waking

Do not allow them to steal your rights from you
For we are the true contenders of virtue
