V1:
Divide and conquer, they put the fight up on ya
Put the fright up in ya, they don't want us stronger
They don't want opinions, less they put it on ya
So now they on ya, now they own ya!

Like a sponsor, it's upon ya
Now you're on a team, exactly where they want ya
Getting played, never wondered if they want to
All I'm saying' is the same fake content

Promoted by the media has fear as a constant
It's constant, still I'm hoping most see it's non-sense
Despondent responses from conned correspondents
Acting' like snakes, straight anacondas!

Parroting the hate, apparently it's content
Parroting the state, parroting them war-mongers
Telling' everybody that the world's full of monsters
It's kind of true, I heard the church funds Wonga

They don't want you keeping' the faith, any longer
Claiming that they're conscious, but ain't got a conscience
While it be the best time ever, we ain't content
We're squandering this time that we've got left

Life's complex, from the offset
Try to treat people like people, not objects
How could you object? I just want peace
N' I don't mean the police harassing people on the streets for

Shit stirin', dicks lurking' tryna ban the weed
While they go and swig Bourbon, flying' overseas
Dodgy politicians, they want us all to beef
So they can get away with all the shit that we don't see

[But I see them!]

V2:
The media are compromised, comprised of sheep
Liars n' deceivers, paid to read a sheet
Make us worry cos of debt...while they don't report
How the banks screwed us all then got paid for the fall

We paid for 'em all, 'cept, northern rock
So what's that like, 5 percent they aren't crooks?
I ain't saying everybody in it really in on it
I'm just saying everybody seen it but didn't give a shit

They said they did, at the time, but
Next week I heard 'em all, parroting' a line, bout
Too big to fail so, too big to jail
F*ck it, give 'em all a bonus wish 'em well!

While the rest get screwed, its descent
Getting brewed, man I swear it's all a ruse
They jus' want us fighting, rowdy on the booze
Then snooze, 'til ya heard the next story on the news

I say it's you and me, they say it's you or them
Divide n conquer ain't a thing that's fuckin new to them
It's shit the average person couldn't imagine, they imagine
It's my imagination but I swear this isn't random
