Chemic - Coercive Aggression

Ideological dictator
Imposed ignorance
Through coercive aggression
Contradicted recompense
Propagandized nullification
Of pragmatic thought
A prison of the mind

Just a fading memory
The power-hungry manipulation
The weakness of their minds
Intimidated into submission
They've left it all behind
Ideological dictator
Imposed ignorance
Through coercive aggression
Contradicted recompense
Propagandized nullification
Of pragmatic thought
A prison of the mind
We are over-wrought

Why can't they see?
How this world has come to be
Why can't they see?
The lessons of our history
Why can't they see?
How this world has come to be
