ARE YOU FREE OR ARE YOU A SLAVE?

When show biz is warlike
And war just a show
Do we still have a world
That we all want to know?
When men in power tell lies
And media agrees
What’s in the future
But a world on its knees?
When power is all
And truth is a game
Can we respect leaders
That exhibit no shame?
When they say 'Only one way”
All else is unpatriotic
Havn’t they made democracy
Into something psychotic?
When freedom is controlled
By witch hunts and spies
Is it right THEY tell US
What’s truth and what’s lies?
When we all feel fear
And want protection
Do they then manipulate
Without our detection?
When the powerful elites
See their chance to control
Is this then how it feels
To lose our own soul?
When dictators get power
We see it over and over
They manipulate the facts
To provide them with cover
When they start to preach
That what’s good for them
Is good also for the state
You realise an imminent fate
When you were free and able to choose
And the time grew SO grave
Did all their so-called “protection”
Make of you their SLAVE?
