SKYCLAD
"The Great Brain Robbery"

Why do you still refuse to see
This vast global conspiracy
That's infiltrating lives and homes
A race replaced by servile drones
Chips are down and stakes are high
Milkshake minds are sucked bone dry
If their fiendish schemes should fail
They'll smoke us all but won't inhale

The evidence was there
Beneath our noses all the time
We're too gullible to care
They conceived the perfect crime
The Great Brain Robbery

Met my neighbour one fine morning
Spoke of planetary warming
She looked at me and laughed
Wait and see who's laughing last
Dread to think how deep they stoop
Dredging for new dopes to dupe
Plots so blatant yet sublime
Fool all the people all the time

False prophets ever lie
Of non-existent better days
Then as judgement hour draws nigh
They make their hasty getaways
The Great Brain Robbery

Leaders of united nations
Speeches preached from TV stations
Truth or falsehood, no one cares
All just want to be millionaires

Armed with charm, the slick of wit
Contort each thought, waive every writ
Devise new means to beat the charge
Disguised 'neath urbane camouflage

They subjugate free will
With intolerance and strife
Won't be content until
They own your money and your life
The Great Brain Robbery
