The Con Lyrics by PEZ

Don’t Look Down

2016

[Verse]
Yeah, welcome to the con
A world full of false hope and doublespeak
Where underneath the words that you just heard you'll see what something means
And that's a fucking scheme, basically, they say
That they're protecting all our freedoms while they're taking 'em away
Send your baby off to war, oh wow, he dies
And Obama gets to win a Nobel Peace Prize
It's a fuckin' joke, nope, well, these eyes
Are open now, I'm grown up, man, you won't sell me lies
In the meantime the world's waitin'
To see what the future's gonna hold for its nations
With some at odds on the topic of immigration
It seems xenophobes are the problem that we're all faced with
So we all band together to embrace it
And join in the fight against racists and hatred
But in truth this oasis we're chasin'
Just really means globalisation
It's basic, they know how your mind works so they shape it
Right from our cot, they got us locked within this Matrix
It's like we can't escape it, every single day it's
All over the news and spread across the papers
No wonder people want to spend their nights sedated
In a trance, going brain dead from entertainment
Our masters have trained us to love our enslavement
It's so far gone, now how the fuck can you save us
When you can only either choose between
A bunch of soulless politicians and controlled opposition
In the end, what's the difference?
When they're bought by a fund, creatin' money out of thin air
And the way that money's handled is so underhanded
You start to feel like nothing's random once you understand it
And amongst all the payoffs and chaos
There's always something we should be afraid of
Is it warzones or Al Qaeda, Islamic state
Pesticides, GMOs, vaccines, climate change
Sometimes it's hard to tell what's real and what's not
With all the stuff that's concealed and whatnot
So while we're lost in this mass of confusion, the story goes
Problem, reaction, solution before you know it
Our sense of morality is gradually decayin'
From all this subversion and perversion
As we plug in and switch off
Doped up on alcohol, violence, sex, drugs, and hip-hop
We've been conned by these ideas that they wanted planted
From the land of the free, they feed us their propaganda
And while we can't see eye to eye
They sit and watch our world fall apart by design
So I'm sorry for the diatribe
But I really feel like we can't afford to bide our time
And nitpick little things and get sidetracked
I just want you to see the bigger picture like iMax
And realise that your mind's being highjacked
And used as a means to an end that we're coming to
'Cause the idea of tyranny is nothing new
They say that better days are comin', but it's just a ruse
See, you can either start uncoverin' the fuckin' truth
Or just be another sucker, it's up to you
