lyrics

Of Mice and Strawmen
Music by Cordisco, Lyrics by Cordisco/Parris

Templar -- unaffected by reason
Devout -- unmoved by thought
Oppressed -- voices are silenced
By the fascist hell they’ve wrought
Deny -- the gift of reason
Deny -- the gift of thought
Deny -- truth and freedom
As we burn in this bed they’ve made

They’re no longer thinking
They uphold the status quo
We must stand against it
Refuse to play a losing game

In a guise of unseen law
Puppets beating men of straw
On and on they pound
The weak opposing progress
Making claims to save us all
But we will fight!

Rewrite -- abstractions and treason
Fallacy -- will rule the day
System -- of gross injustice
And apathy is their only way
Deny -- our basic rights
Deny -- a better world
Deny -- all brotherhood
To burn in systemic fires of hate

They refuse to see humanity
They are blind mice in a maze
Mass silence is their ally
Their proclamations devastate

Worshipping their demagogue
Puppets beating men of straw
On and on they pound
Their "faith" opposing progress
Making claims to save us all
But we will fight!

They’ve denied their sentience
They are puppets on a string
Remember all the faces
Of all those brainwashed by their sick pathetic ways

Hanging on to their prejudice
Puppets beating men of straw
On and on they pound
Militant opposing progress
Making claims to save us all
But we will fight!
