Pez - The Con lyrics

[Verse] Yeah, welcome to the Con A world full of false hope and double speak Where underneath the words that you just you'll see something means And that's a f**ing scheme, basically they say That they're protecting all our freedoms while they're taking them away Send your baby off to war, oh wow, he dies And Obama gets to win a Nobel Peace Prize It's a f**in' joke, nope, wow 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 [?] on the topic of immigration It seems zenophobes 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 it's oasis we're chasin' Just really [?] mobilisation 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 f** 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 pay offs 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 what not So while we're lost in this [?] and 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, s**, d**, and hip-hop We've been conned by these ideas [?] [?] propaganda And while we can't see eye to eye [?] sit and watch our world fall apart [?] So I'm sorry for the die or try 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 f**in' truth Or just be another s**er, it's up to you
