Allegory Of The Cave
Lyrics
The best way to control the masses
Is to keep 'em trapped in a state of constant fear
Like prisoners locked up in a cave
Let 'em only see a fragment of reality
Slavery works best
When the slaves don't know they're slaves
Let 'em live in an illusion of freedom
Allegory of the cave
Tie 'em down with invisible chains
Religion. Debt. Addictions. Law and terror
Attack 'em. But have a scapegoat ready
In crisis people will blindly follow their leader
Slavery works best
When the slaves don't know they're slaves
Let 'em live in an illusion of freedom
Allegory of the cave
Narrow down their spectrum of options
Until there are no options left
But convince them that they still have
Free will and choice
Ridicule and silence those who
Begin to think for them selves
Quickly remove the ones who
Stand up or raise their voice
Wake up!
(Lead: Peter)
The exit is right behind you!
Is to keep 'em trapped in a state of constant fear
Like prisoners locked up in a cave
Let 'em only see a fragment of reality
Slavery works best
When the slaves don't know they're slaves
Let 'em live in an illusion of freedom
Allegory of the cave
Tie 'em down with invisible chains
Religion. Debt. Addictions. Law and terror
Attack 'em. But have a scapegoat ready
In crisis people will blindly follow their leader
Slavery works best
When the slaves don't know they're slaves
Let 'em live in an illusion of freedom
Allegory of the cave
Narrow down their spectrum of options
Until there are no options left
But convince them that they still have
Free will and choice
Ridicule and silence those who
Begin to think for them selves
Quickly remove the ones who
Stand up or raise their voice
Wake up!
(Lead: Peter)
The exit is right behind you!
