regaining unconsciousness

first they put away the dealers
keep our kids safe and off the streets
then they put away the prostitutes
keep married men close to their homes
then they shooed away the bums
and they beat and bashed the queers
turned away the silent seekers
that have such specific fears
we didn't raise our voice
we didn't make a fuss
it was 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
and with out conversations tapped
and our differences exposed
how are you supposed to love your neighbor
with our minds and curtains closed
we used to worry about big brother
now we got a big father and an even bigger mutha...

and you still believe
this aristocracy gives a fuck about you
they put the mock in democracy
and you've swallowed every hook
the sad truth is
you would rather follow the school into the net
cause' swimming alone in the sea
is not the kind of freedom that you actually want
so go back to your crib
and suck on a tit
bask in the warmth of your diaper
you're sitting in shit and piss
while sucking on a giant pacifier
a country of adult infants
a legion of mental midgets
a country of adult infants
all regaining their un-consciousness
