lyrics

Are you content with the way things are?
Do you want to get a new phone or buy a new car?
Or do you want to make a difference?
Did you sell your dreams for an easy ride?
Was a house full of stuff enough to get you on side?
Have you settled for mere existence?

Every new generation faces a whole new set of bribes.
Our power is weakened when they divide us into tribes.
To turn dissent to acceptance is always what they’re trying to do –
Are you sure it isn’t happening to you?

Growing up, the stories that I was told
Were that the kids in the 60’s had changed the world.
So then who voted for Reagan?
And, after Tory rule for nearly two decades,
“Things can only get better” was the promise made –
Well, it seems they were mistaken.

Can we spot the time when we start to acquiesce –
When we no longer resist their efforts to oppress?
When we fear losing what we have more than we want things to be fair?
Can we spot the time when we cease to really care?

Are you content with the way things are?
They’re trying to buy your passive acceptance.
