Wicked Government

 

Wicked Government

 

By the media, by their lies

We let them control our lives

Wicked government takes our rights

Wicked government controls our minds

 

Inflecting us with drugs

So they can control us

Breaking their own rules

As they play us like fools

Making up their wars

So they can fulfill their goals

 

Smoke and mirrors

Building perfect pictures

To feed our brains with lies

Smoke and mirrors

Making us miss the signs

A perfect way to cover their crimes

 

"Give me a sec"

"To make a system check"

 

"Artificial intelligence"

"Used in bombs targeted on our homes"

"Bullets that make holes into walls"

"Missiles that can end up this world"

"Believe turning into the devils word"

 

By the media, by their lies

We let them control our lives

Wicked government takes our rights

Wicked government controls our minds

 

Making up confusion

So we lose our emotion

Planting their conviction

So we fall in confliction

Using our religion

To complete their illusion

 

Smoke and mirrors

Building perfect pictures

To feed our brains with lies

Smoke and mirrors

Making us miss the signs

A perfect way to cover their crimes

 

"Give me a sec"

"To make a system check"

 

"As we die in their battleground"

"You can see them dancing around"

"Death is the only meaning they know"

"Still their lies find a way to our home"

"The tears are ours, and the blood is our own"

 

By the media, by their lies

We let them control our lives

By the media, by their lies

We let them control our lives

Wicked government takes our rights

Wicked government controls our minds

…

Wicked government falls

Wicked government falls

Wicked government falls

Author's Note

This aint aimed to any certain government! Those P.O.P (Pigs Of Power) you can find anywhere!

This reads like a song with all the repetiton. I'm not too fond of repetition inside the stanza; maybe a chorus that repeats itself would be better.

[ShadowDance]

oh yes this one, isnt it this one or maybe another I dont remember, the song that got you kicked out of a certain site?
or was it thank you lord?

I cant remember, I know you write what you write cause you love your country and being from many countrys you love more than just one, I wont be suprised if you loved every country there is, corruption thats what shooting at here, right? YES I am right :P

i like this one a lot...especially cuz our society nowadays is so against oppression but yet the gov't can oppress us in ways and u rlly brought it out.
"Using our religion
To complete their illusion" i think that totally is true and im not afraid to admit that it does happen with a lot of religions (including mine, although the people r not considered to be muslims). nice work tam

It's a bit more repetitive than my usual taste, but like with your other piece, I'll treat it as metal lyrics...again, as with your other piece, i think this would be an effective song. The topic of nasty governments is common, but people are still apathetic and subdued, so clearly we need to get the message across more loudly.
I like that it isn't aimed at a particular government...seems like there aren't many systems left that have resisted becoming either corrupt or power-greedy.
I also like that, at the end of this, the "wicked government" falls...kind of like you're inciting people to take action.

There's some good use of imagery in this one and explored ideas here.
Good work.

Protest against the 'Pigs of Power' themselves, or the people letting them get away with it (i.e. us)?
Thanks for entering the contest.

p.s.
"Braking their own rules" (braking = breaking...or is it deliberate wordplay?)
