Wearing a top hat and a straight
jacket with a monocle and goatee.
He owns everything like God does.
Nobody will ever tell him different.
He'll silence you and disappear you.
He'll buy your friends and family.
He'll define what's real and false.
He's the man who bought the world.
Our lives are in his cattle cars on
our way to his indifferent endings.

If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
