echo back, echolocate
and sing the song of secret state
man of mind & man of soul
they tow the line with mind control
lingering and leading out
they try to drive the devil out
form the fear of puppet mensch
inform or end up in a trench
traitor traitor to the state
they lock you up and clean the slate
stand and hail consumer reich
the selfie caste can see no light
eat it up your daily cues
or sing a bar of death camp blues
no more nation god has spoke
affix you to the christian yoke
smiling blessed
self obsess
perfect form
no soul left
hand of light to drive it out
we scrape and scrape and scrape it out
dehumanize the human mind
a cog is craft in perfect time
thunder perfect in my eyes
i speak the truth of fuhrer lie
they say a mind is perfect waste
dutiful in perma-haste
worker, fixed in place
hooded, to blank out face
linked up, to the hive
drone, now online
cease, cognitive
the task, will outlive
rotten, husk eject
auto, mate and slept
