A view of our world and who's running the show...

To give a better outlook on the condition of our world today, I'd like to share with you some lyrics from the band KMFDM:

from the song Stars & Stripes,

"...A Tyrant is a man who allows his people no freedom
who is puffed-up by pride
driven by the lust of power
impelled by greed
provoked by thirst for fame

divided and conquered
gripped by fear
wishful thinking that it can't happen here
it's well underways but nobody knows
a repeat of history
that's how it goes

tell the people that they're under attack
by man-eating foes from Mars or Iraq
mobilize outrage
muzzle dissent
send in the troops
strike the pre-empt

control the airwaves
fuel the reaction
use every weapon of mass-distraction
turn active people into passive consumers
feed 'em bogus polls and harebrained rumours

cut back civil rights
make no mistake
tell them Homeland Security is now at stake
whip up a frenzy keep them suspended
don't let them know that their Liberty's ended

Everything goes in the desperate states
the veneer of democracy rapidly fades
wreak total havoc on all opposition
in any event fulfill your mission

Totalitarian media sensation
you will give them domination
never mind they call you a liar and thief
by now you are the undisputed commander-in-chief...."
