A new five year plan has been announced
To restore law, order and proper behaviour
More rules to follow, more laws to obey
Thank god the government is our saviour
The problem started in the Nineteen Sixties
Before that everything was fine
No one then was burgled or abused
There was no instances at all of crime
Then along came the Beatles
With their long hair and ankle boots
From that moment on
We turned into a nation of crooks
At least this is the story
Why the government insists
You will do exactly what your told
Or else have handcuffs on your fists
Perhaps there is another side
To this quite simplistic tale
Perhaps the Beatles were a social experiment
And we are now the coffin to that nail
Now I am no conspiracy theorist
But let’s just say I am
How would you divert an awakening?
How would you reinforce the dam?
First you need a problem
So you give drugs to the high society
Then you sell the masses
Another alternative to sobriety
Of course, then there is a reaction
The family is at war
Kids rebel against the system
But they don’t even know what for
Politicians offer solutions
To increase their power
Parents reluctantly agree
To jail their little flower
Teenagers were invented
They were a new market to explore
You give them just a glimpse of hope
Before you take away their floor
So now we have a planet
Where celebrity is King
If you are not rich or famous
You are on the bottom ring
Out of desperation and pain
We overdose on drugs or drink
We don’t know how to face ourselves
We are not educated to think
Drugging the population
Breaking up the family unit
Encouraging consumerism
Leaves the world with no love in it
Where is it going to end?
Will we make it through the night?
Why do we bang our heads
Like a moth against a light?
Take one step backwards
Ask yourself the question
Who puts thoughts into your head?
Is it you or the television?
Big Brother is not in control
Unless you want it to be
There must be another way
But do you want to see?
For their grip is getting stronger
A nightmare future is looming
But if we take control
Our flowers will start blooming
And then a fairer world will emerge
One for which we can all be thankful
I’m sure the government will be happy
Because at last we’d have all become responsible
Cheers!
