Protection Racket Lyrics
2 ContributorsProtection Racket LyricsFor the common good
That glare so piercing
It will burn through your back
Reach, re-educate the soul
(even though this is feigned)
Because you need
To be taken to task
Obscure my face
In Shadows i'll consolidate
Unmasked, i'd be whipped into shape
In shadows i'll consolidate
False alarmist - they will brand it
On your back
Or maniacal sadist, when you are
Barely defence-minded
Because you walk right out of step
Obscure my face
Effectively decapitate
Unbowed through
The smear campaign
Effectively decapitate
Effectively, socially
Protectively decapitated
Whiteout in the blackout
So everybody's running scared
Whiteout in the blackout
Rank and file and all upstanding
With selective downplaying
Whiteout in the blackout
Whiteout in the blackout
So the oft-duped
Are grossly impaired
Whiteout in the blackout
Startled, unsettled
Thus curiosity expelled
Whiteout in the blackout
Homogeneous - I'm surplus to
This time that's well contained
Sullied rat in basement trap
With vital expose
For your own protection
For the retardation ...
