Charlie + The Propaganda Myth Machine Lyrics & Tabs by Million Dead
Charlie + The Propaganda Myth Machine
guitar chords lyrics
If every child chased dreams of
Societal reorganization
In place of sweet wrappers and escape
Then we would see Mr. Cadbury's
Enlightened industrialism
For what it really fucking is:
Social morphine - we'd have ourselves a pre-school army.
Walt Disney is pushing social and sexual hierarchy.
My bed-time stories like a GMTV gomulka.
Slumbering in my jimmy-jammies,
My wondrous imagination long since closed and put away.
Willy Wonka was a capitalist confidence trickster.
A poster boy for neo-liberalism.
A full-stop on revolt.
And the BFG a propagandist for an unaccountable regime.
A poster boy for neo-liberalism.
A full-stop on revolt.
And the BFG a propagandist for an unaccountable regime.
Orwell's vision with a wrinkled face.
Hold out the arm and quiet the voice.
My first MacDonald's visit a vaccination
Like the time my parents took me to the school clinic
And handed me over to the teacher, nurse, whatever.
Hold out the arm and quiet the voice.
Hold out the arm and quiet the voice.
Hold out the arm and quiet the voice.
I too got sucked in by the myth machine.
Unattainable
But I just wish we weren't so fucking mindless.
A little more suspicion in our fairy tales please.
Drowned in
A recurring nightmare of causal influence.
A little more suspicion in our fairy tales please.
But I just wish we weren't so fucking mindless.
A little more suspicion in our fairy tales please.
Mum and dad,
I'm sorry, I won't do what Enid Blyton told me.
A little more suspicion in our fairy tales please.
Our jealousy at their opportunity:
The once weak will one day rule this world.
A little more suspicion in our fairy tales please.
The monsters underneath the bed are merely jaded failings.
