THINK
Not taught to think, not taught to judge,
Not meant to understand a thing.
Raised up to be just a battery
Powering someone else's machine.
They own you body and soul,
Though the truth you will not hear.
So hard to free the fool
From the chains that he reveres.
Not taught to think, not taught to judge,
Take pride instead in subservience.
What a strange belief, you put the lowest thief
Upon a pedestal, it makes no sense.
They dominate you and you call it law,
And proudly you obey.
You live your life by the code of the flock,
While humanity you betray.
(Chorus)
But born as a human being, your only obligation is to do
Not what is commanded, not what is expected,
Not what is legal, not what is popular,
Not what is comfortable or what is praised,
But only what is right.
Not taught to think, not taught to judge,
You echo the slavespeak faithfully.
You worship the ones who hold you down,
Hate those who wish you to be free.
Love and adore exploiters and theives,
Take comfort in their bald-faced lies.
You call it thought when you blindly believe,
You wear your chains with pride
Taught not to think, taught not to judge,
You seek only the approval of your lords.
Always you've been a good citizen,
A drop in the sea of mindless hordes.
There's nothing noble in being a pawn,
In serving tyrants well.
You fuel their machine, you give them their power,
You pave the road to hell.
Composed by Larken Rose
