Lirieke: Behind Enemy Lines. Dogmatic Slumber.

Do you know what they're up to while we sleep?
They pass 'free trade' legislation that favors the companies
Do you know what they're up to while we sleep?
They cut social programs to fund war technology
Do you know what they're up to while we sleep?
They inject genetically engineered hormones into everything we eat
Do you know what they're up to while we sleep?
They use our own money to pay for our defeat
Wake up from this dogmatic slumber
Stand up and face our enemies
Rise up we've got the numbers
Live up to what we could actually be
Do you know what they're up to while we sleep?
They embrace trickle down economics that maintain us as slaves
Do you know what they're up to while we sleep?
They treat the poor as criminals and give dictators parades
Do you know what they're up to while we sleep?
They bombard us with advertisements until our willpower succumbs
Do you know what they're up to while we sleep?
They utilize slave labor that keeps us competing for crumbs
Wake up from this dogmatic slumber
Stand up and face our enemies
Rise up we've got the numbers
Live up to what we could actually be
They exploit our differences to create more divisions

They keep us subservient with flags and religions
They threaten us with loss of our freedom and soul
They employ all of these tactics to keep their control
And once we're separated and contained by the systems oppressive tactics
Once the flame is extinguished and our leaders fucking have us
We're an unwilling contribution towards the system we despise
We're a part of the machine and our lives are fucking lies
Do you know what they're up to while we sleep?
They bomb civilian populations to secure a better price for oil
Do you know what they're up to while we sleep?
They wage nonstop war against activists until the dissidents recoil
Do you know what they're up to while we sleep?
They expose us to the biological weapons they manufacture in the lab
Do you know what they're up to while we sleep?
They steal our minds, destroy our bodies and leave us on the slab
Wake up from this dogmatic slumber
Stand up and face our enemies
Rise up we've got the numbers
Live up to what we could actually be
