lyrics

Where every move is being watched and they monitor/
Every corner every street, every block or kilometre radius/
Honest Australian's living under constant surveilance-/
Terrorist threats, evidence kept, under containment-/
Government agents move in at big, brothers arrangement-/
90% of the earth, live in utter enslavement-/
Stuck in the matrix trapped in this system of forced labour/
Perpetual debt, hereditary death, court papers-/
Law, makers deep in the pockets of those-/
Deep in the pockets and those, feeding them profit control, we as the/
Populus whole, media dumbing us down, see they don't/
Want us to grow, take away our rights and we're not gunna know-/
And we watching 'em go - the literacy level/
Topples and falls, but they're too busy scrubbing fucking graffiti/
Off of the walls - trying to take the spark away-/
Watching the light fade, these will be our darkest days-//

They got the lives of the masses, controlled by a few cowards-/
We stand together, we'll never lose power I ain't never gunna-/
Welcome the New World City, Welcome the New World City-/
Coz we can't ever let 'em take us alive-/
Like sleeper agents gotta activate that anger inside, say we ain't never gunna-/
Welcome the New World City, Welcome the New World City-/

Where human beings we are treated as livestock-/
-Hearded by cowboys, caged, beaten deprived, of/
All, but the bare minimum sweat, shop, conditioning/
-18 hour shifts, and rest, at rare interims-/
-There ain't no getting ahead-/
Getting the better of debt, this system is designed especially yes-/
They know your every step, believe this-/
Currency is stored, electronically via RFID, chips/
And if you should speak, ill of them you'll meet your demise-/
Yeah they gon' point the bone, at you and leave you to die-/
Freeze all your fi-nances delete all your files, your known, data/
You'll get thrown, out in the street as persona non grata/
While they bomb part of, the world, that your kids'll never know-/
They ain't never heard a thing about 'em on the telly show-/
-This plan is centuries in the making but set in stone-/
Never, no, not unless we let it go, while-//
