Brainwashed in our childhood 
Brainwashed by the school 
Brainwashed by our teachers 
And Brainwashed by all their rules 

Brainwashed by our leaders 
By our Kings and Queens 
Brainwashed in the open and brainwashed behind the scenes 

God God God 
A voice cries in the wilderness 
God God God 
It was on the longest night 
God God God 
An eternity of darkness 
God God God 
Someone turned out the spiritual light 

Brainwashed by the Nikkei 
Brainwashed by Dow Jones 
Brainwashed by the FTSE 
Nasdaq and secure loans 
Brainwashed us from Brussels 
Brainwashing us in Bonn 
Brainwashing us in Washington 
Westminster in London 

God God God 
You are the wisdom that we seek 
God God God 
The lover that we miss 
God God God 
Your nature is eternity 
God God God 
You are Existence, Knowledge, Bliss 

The soul does not love. It is love itself 
It does not exist. It is existence itself 
It does not know. It is knowledge itself 
How to know God, page 130 

They brainwashed my great uncle 
Brainwashed my cousin Bob 
They even got my grandma when she was working for the mob 
Brainwash you while you're sleeping 
While in your traffic jam 
Brainwash you while you're weeping 
While still a baby in your pram 
Brainwashed by the military 
Brainwashed under duress 
Brainwashed by the media 
You're brainwashed by the press 
Brainwashed by computers 
Brainwashed by mobile phones 
Brainwashed by the satellites 
Brainwashed to the bone 

God God God 
Won't you lead us through this mess 
God God God 
From the places of concrete 
God God God 
Nothing's worse than ignorance 
God God God 
I just won't accept defeat 

God God God 
Must be something I forgot 
God God God 
Down on Bullshit Avenue 
God God God 
If we can only stop the rot 
God God God 
Wish that you'd brainwash us too
