An LRC reader sent this to me. Very slick, and very cool. The video speaks to the topic well. The Cognitive Dissident, a new song from The The.
Lyrics
Servile – surveilled
Dumbed-down – curtailed
Screen-grabbed – down-ranked
Un-tagged – de-banked
Nothing to hide – nothing to fear
No one to censor – no one to smear
The revolution’s been authorised
The future? Privatised
The consensus? Created
Reality? Curated
Every place you thought you belonged
Everything you thought you knew – is wrong
Left is right – black is white
Inside out – hope is doubt
Back to front – the witches hunt
Truth stands on the gallows
Lies sit on the throne
Something in the shadows
Communicates by code
The unthinkable is now thinkable
The poison? It’s drinkable!
So, get with the programme – get in sync
You’d better self-censor for wrong-think
Left is right – black is white
Inside out – hope is doubt
Below above – hate is love
Upside down – square is round
War is peace – west is east
Back to front – the witches hunt
