We need to talk, we need to think
About what is going on and who's pulling the strings
Decisions made behind the scenes
Get the wealthy more while the poor get poor what a magic trick
The news says stay in prepare
For new dangers you must beware
These scare tactics
Are everywhere
Saying don't save you need to spend
But either way we'll win in the end
These scare tactics
Have got to end
Were there ever simpler times
Times when our minds could be free from what's on tv
So now we open our eyes
And look for ourselves
History's shown how you've got to stay alert
Cause fear controls what the people hold
While the shadows lurk
The histories there so you got to think
We're there ever simpler times
When our minds could be free from what's on tv
Ever simpler times
