I Will Question
So people through the passage of generations, decades heaped upon decades, through the gradual erosion of time, no longer questioned the system, the sanity of the powers that be.
The ruling authorities and prevailing decision makers began to take liberties with the interpretation of justice and equality for all. And slowly with finesse they usurped the people of their constitutional rights. Truth was perverted. Decrees became laws with no substance as to righteousness, to fairness.
The system became magnanimous in it’s ability to control, shape, distort public opinion. The very institution sworn to serve and protect, resorted to suppression, to oppression.
The common people were conditioned by enviroment. Swayed by a preconceived reality of what was simply for the sake of what had been. In avoidance of confrontation and the possible consequences of such action, the people resigned to acceptance – which was the worst of all evils, acceptance void of understanding, the pathway of complacency. They no longer questioned, they embraced indifference, and by their denial, the monster grew….
The monster grew…..
I will question / I will question…..
Tattoo my forehead, number my hand.
I’m complacent, I’m a systemized man.
You know my name, mark my face
Lost in a maze of a complex place.
Dare I question the deception? Dare I mention my contention?
Dare I question your intention? Dare I mention my dissention?
There’s a monster crawling in my bed.
Feeding subtle nonsense to my head.
There’s a shadow in the land, we put him in command.
I will question the deception. I will mention my contention
I will question your intention. I will mention my dissention.
Monitor me. Regulate me.
I am a victim of your tyranny.
Isolate me. Suffocate me.
Strip me of my individuality.
Fat cat politician, Mad-cap crazy mission,
Lead the masses to complete submission.
Socialize me, mesmerize me,
I’ll be a puppet of hypocrisy.
Dare I question the deception? Dare I mention my contention?
Dare I question your intention? Dare I mention my dissention?
There’s a monster crawling in your bed.
Feeding subtle nonsense to your head.
There’s a shadow in the land, we put him in command.
Will you question the deception?
Will you mention your contention?
Will you question their intention?
Will you mention your dissention?
