They don't even have to kick down our doors We let them in with a smile and a thank you Media ingrained police state Our fears create the cycle of reliance And if you think for one fucking second That they're not bleeding you for all their worth Dig your grave now and save them the trouble Tie yourself down to the fairy tales The Holocaust will not be televised That is unless it becomes marketable In the market of fear In the market of flesh and blood Sold to you by the new improved Jack booted thugs We've lost direction Senses rot away Kneel and beg for safety Just forget the whip marks on your back.
Around the world, and in America specifically, we are being subjected to a regularly scheduled program of fear and violence brought to us by a twin attack of the media and politicians who feed our fears on each other. Blacks fear whites, whites fear anyone different, and we all fear that which we do not know, even though, according to many studies, violent crime statistics are down. We keep adding more police and giving those police more and more power. We are trading our rights for the illusion of safety and in doing so we give the real criminals even more potency
