In his government disguise
Sitting behind his bullet-proof glass
Trying to tell me ´bout my rights
And i don't like the way that he's
Asking me these questions
I can read between the lines
And i don't think that i can trust you
With the story of my life
Another communication
That will bring you to your knees
The genocidal maniacs
They're doing just what they please
We've gotta move these mountains
'Cause they're standing in the way
If it's in the name of progress oh yeah
We can make it pay for our
Social insecurity
They'll try to take my history
Away from me
Social insecurity don't look at me
They'll try to take my life
Well it never seems so tragic now
As the dawn breaks into day
But they're staring at the tower block
Where the green field once laid
All the mighty rivers are full of
Factory decay
Is this just some small price that you have
Learned to pay for your
Social insecurity
They'll try to take my history
Away from me
Social insecurity don't look at me
They'll try to take my life
This is your democracy
This is your bureaucracy
Well i call it damned hypocrisy
If you'll ask me
I´ll tell you ´bout your life
Well it's another social worker In his government disguise Sitting behind his bullet-proof glass Trying to tell me ´bout my rights And i don't like the way that he's Asking me these questions I can read between the lines And i don't think that i can trust you With the story of my life Another communication That will bring you to your knees The genocidal maniacs They're doing just what they please We've gotta move these mountains 'Cause they're standing in the way If it's in the name of progress oh yeah We can make it pay for our Social insecurity They'll try to take my history Away from me Social insecurity don't look at me They'll try to take my life Well it never seems so tragic now As the dawn breaks into day But they're staring at the tower block Where the green field once laid All the mighty rivers are full of Factory decay Is this just some small price that you have Learned to pay for your Social insecurity They'll try to take my history Away from me Social insecurity don't look at me They'll try to take my life This is your democracy This is your bureaucracy Well i call it damned hypocrisy If you'll ask me I´ll tell you ´bout your life Explain Request ×
