In a culture where the natural is dressed to fit the part We've powdered milk and cartoon cows Sky is on the box the parks are where we fit the cars And obesity is sold by clowns When every time religion comes we grab the shopping cart And curse the price of charity The only time we pray for help its for a credit card That stretches to eternity
It's what we think we ought to do It's not exactly ours to choose Cos people do the things they do It's how it goes and who are you to moan? I said it seems to me that most of this dependency On progress God and how it's been Just causes stress and misery
Let's have some mental liberation Until we do then no one's really free
As the world goes up itself about celebrity and wealth There's war and raw hypocrisy And still no freedom for the free To get together all day long And tell the fuckers this is wrong! The nanny state does not forgive your sins And they know where you live
Let's have some mental liberation Until we do then no one's really Free speech - illusion Reach the conclusion Those who set the limits on freedom Won't let you say we don't need them
For fear of losing freedom do we keep it all inside? Being quiet in the name of peace The courts are full of people with opinions to defend But it doesn't get the press release If every step is marching to the bus to take us back To hear that nothing changed again Remember all the facts before the media attack The pictures in your heart and pictures in your brain
Cos I was there and so were you And several thousand others too While opinions of millions were shaped by papers and the news And you were there and so were we So who has the authority To shape perception to the point of calling it reality?
Let's have some mental liberation Until we do then no one's really free
