The Walking Dead (Minstrels of Truth)
You’ve had a thought that I don’t like,
So I’m forced to silence you with a premptive strike.
How dare you think a thought that I wouldn’t think!
Your dangerous dissent may cause one to rethink!
It’s all your fault, this way that I feel,
Defenseless against your violent real!
What right do you have to perceive your own dreams?
The Constitution you say? It must be ripped at the seams!
We can’t have you saying things we don’t want to know;
We can’t have you pulling back the curtain on the show.
So we’ll platform the liars, the sociopaths, the bought,
And we’ll call it censoring the misinformation you wrought.
We’ll dig a contradiction and hypocrisy so damn deep
That your truth will die with your freedoms, so weep!
Resistance is futile, so shut up and obey!
Why oh why are you still talking away!
You frighten me sir, with your notions of truth!
You threaten my world view with your statements uncouth!
Stop shattering my ego and playing with my head.
I don’t wish to know I am the walking dead!
I don’t care if they’ve lied to me and everyone else.
I like this sensation of safety being under their spells.
I’m warning you one last time, back away!
OMG, now they’re censoring me? Oy vay!!!
Have some pity, I was under mass formation psychosis.
I don’t need berating for this diagnosis.
I actually need you to try a little harder,
deep down I want you to be my martyr.
Free me and my soul from this prison they’ve designed
Keep fighting for the Truth that they’ve tried to malign.
We’re drowning, all drowning, in this ocean of lies.
That’s it. Game over. And everyone dies.
