Lyrics

First they put away the dealers
Keep our kids safe and off the street
Then they put away the prostitutes
Keep married men cloistered at home

Then they shooed away the bums
Then they beat and bashed the queers
Turned away asylum-seekers
Fed us suspicions and fears
We didn't raise our voice
We didn't make a fuss
It's funny there was no one left to notice
When they came for us

Looks like witches are in season
You better fly your flag and be aware
Of anyone who might fit the description
Diversity is now our biggest fear

Now with our conversations tapped
And our differences exposed
How ya supposed to love your neighbor
With our minds and curtains closed?
We used to worry 'bout big brother
Now we got a big father and an even bigger mother

And you still believe
This aristocracy gives a fuck about you
They put the mock in democracy
And you swallowed every hook

The sad truth is
You'd rather follow the school into the net
'Cause swimming alone at sea
Is not the kind of freedom that you actually want

So go back to your crib and suck on a tit
Go bask in the warmth of your diaper
You're sitting in shit and piss
While sucking a giant pacifier
A country of adult infants
A legion of mental midgets
A country of adult infants
A country of adult infants
All regaining their unconsciousness
