The Scribes – Two Minutes Hate Lyrics
Lyrics
- Attention please Can we all attempt to be upstanding citizens
- All be good civilians and take your pill of standard vitamins
- We've got total coverage vigilance You're born There's no escape route
- And nowadays our favourite GM tablets have replaced food
- The rationing will end soon The police state stays in effect
- As do bans on creative arts and non-procreational sex
- Trust us it's for the best But rest easy God's on our side
- But you will get arrested for witchcraft Voodoo Star signs
- Now people these are hard times We're overpopulated
- Undereducated The ozone's long evaporated
- And much as you hate it we're going to have to dig deep
- Just remember a minutes hatred to these faces before you sleep
- These are the headlines for the week We fared well in all hostilities
- We control the TV for your national stability
- We were bringing back the guillotine but didn't like the associations
- So now traitors burn by order of the administration
- Stand up Sign on
- All they wanted was to see you fall
- Stand up Sign on
- It never meant that much to me at all
- I thought you wanted security Unite the safer nation
- All we ask is your privacy in turn for our surveillance
- Whilst we take control there's admiration for your patience
- While you wait enjoy coloured alerts masking our observations
- So you watch my back and I'll watch my back
- And if your country needs you then we'll make contact
- Don't forget to watch the skies The Ears and Eyes are watching you
- I'm what you chose Now you oppose? Shut up and let me govern you
- Mr Magoo propaganda Riddles gold digging truths
- Whilst we feed off careers We own the inland revenue
- You're under my reticule In this game of space invasion
- Conversations over Soldiers fear my wrath like tax evasion
- Found a way to rape ya Live on reality shows
- The world will sit and watch this biggest brother take control
- Even stolen your remote Stole your heart Then your vote
- Swallow our pride it might hide the bitter taste in your throat
- Stand up Sign on
- All they wanted was to see you fall
- Stand up Sign on
- It never meant that much to me at all
- So stand up Line up Let them know that you're here
- Check in Check out and fumigate your fear
- Oh no It's fine Uncle Sam's got your back
- Four thousand US troops shot dead in Iraq
- CCTV everywhere all the time
- It's like the FBI is even tapping these rhymes
- Check philosophy from Socrates back in ancient Greece
- There's no one like Mitt If you can't increase the peace
- I'm just a US citizen Rhyming with The Scribes
- From Bristol back to Cali We're shaking up the hive
- They fight wars without a purpose I just don't get it man
- Trigger happy soldiers busting caps in foreign lands
- So don't believe the news when you're in a state of war
- And they're breaking down the doors like it was 1984
- There's no Oceanic double speak contradiction
- Because Big Brother loves you and George Orwell wrote fiction
- Stand up Sign on
- All they wanted was to see you fall
- Stand up Sign on
- It never meant that much to me at all
