The Herd pt. 1
Inside the computer
a little man screams
then you scream too
that’s how it seems
a little man screams
then you scream too
that’s how it seems
«This is the truth»
you nod and agree
rattling your chains
knowing you’re free
you nod and agree
rattling your chains
knowing you’re free
Dressed like a rebel
you act like a slave
without any insight
on how you behave
you act like a slave
without any insight
on how you behave
You look like a sheep
in a herd on your way
to follow your sheperd
when he says «obey»
in a herd on your way
to follow your sheperd
when he says «obey»
«This is the way»
your smile is naive
your smile is naive
as I answer «that’s not
what I believe»
what I believe»
I stand my ground
and you wish me luck
then you walk into
the slaughters truck
the slaughters truck
