loyalties are lying in graves beside the highway.
we're slaves to progress calling us to stay in the race.
the joneses running in place but stirring dust.
while we chase them through the clouds and debris we cannot see...
beyond the magazines fronting product placement prostitution rings.
the cultural fallacies on our radio speakers and tv screens.

but behind.
the scenes we're trying.
marching forward.
remaining quiet.

the silent fist of revolution
will rise up! will rise up!
(x4)

but radar screens are watching us.
lasers aimed at stopping us.
traitors what they're calling us.
protest is dismissed as wrong or radical.
fists are much more practical.
lips find speaking difficult when they're cracked and swollen.
corporate news media scene playing host to partisan cheerleading.
aesthetic desires creating ignorant buyers, and the stupid but cute reign supreme

but behind.
the scenes we're trying.
marching forward.
remaining quiet.

the silent fist of revolution
will rise up! will rise up!
