If all of this looks normal
And never once makes you blink
If you ride the tide to whatever side
Flows into group think
If you do all they tell you to
And then ask them for more
If you play their game and all receive the same
Trophy at the door
If you nod in Bobble Head fashion
With their version of the truth
Never stepping off to question
Then maybe you've been brainwashed too
If you scream out heebie-jeebies
When opposite shows it's hand
And instead of calmly asking
It's more of a demand
If you turn blue when you talk green
And all you see is red
If in your realm of tolerance
You wish the other side was dead
If your blindfold covers both heart and head
On what is the gospel truth
The only conclusion there is left
Is maybe you've been brainwashed too
