The blank screen before me
Hides a simple truth
That world that's all
Around me
Is hidden from my view

I read the lies
I'm given
To lap it up in haste
The memories of the future
To fade away to grey

What is the truth thats out
There
What do I need to
Do
When corporation's hold
Me
I'm bonded just like
You  

They tell me what to eat
They tell me what to do
I'm told to pay my taxes
Or face the wrath
The blue

Now many years ago
Debt was not around to
Own
Where is this so called
Money
That's owed into
The globe

I don't believe in debt
I don't believe they
Know
The world's a different
Story
Because that's all
I'm told

My world is not so big these days
I see what I believe
I look into the distance look
5 miles is all I breath
I do not take the pain they show
I do not take the greed
I run from all the guilty lies
My life is simply free

Yet as you read my story here
I'm part of what is wrong
The system really has
My life  
I'm part of 84  
But see
I feel a different colour
As
The sheeple pass me by
