We are the insurgents,
We are the revolutionaries,
Together we are nothing,
Televised we are all,
We will march forth,
Paint the streets with the blood of frustration,
corporations and government officials will oppress us no more,
Let self doubt be a sin,
And mass media cultivation be the cure
See the bigger picture, the needs of the many
The few are not needed
Teach the schools to stop believing in the power of individuality,
Teach the children to march forth with burning cash
This new society will not tolerate “accidents”
Switch on your television sets, let the signals dissolve through your skin
They are your friends,
Your future,
Your eyes,
Listen to the voices,
Your thoughts are not needed,
Your clothes are not needed,
Material possessions acquired from before, are not needed,
What matters is the word, and the word is obsolete
Let propaganda be your bible
Let insurance be a sin
Take comfort in our knowledge, we know your number
Contact with the outside world is strictly forbidden,
Motor vehicles and auto-mobiles are strictly forbidden,
Attempts to climb the wall are strictly forbidden,
Disobeying orders is strictly forbidden
All Perpetrators will be punished
All Perpetrators will be killed
Purchase goods only from your nearest state retailer
Convenience has never tasted brighter
Post-revolution spirits must remain high at all times
Negativity will not be tolerated
Free speech will not be tolerated
Act straight, talk right
A revolution collapses without its people
I am the insurgent,
The revolutionary
Your leader.
