lyrics

if you can strip a people of their history
then you can sell them anything
if they can forget their great great grandparents so quickly
then you have found an in
this is the first step if you want to win

winning is defined by surrounding yourself with enablers and devices
contrivances that perpetuate whatever addiction-validating myth
your subconscious sees fit to print, post or share, publish or spread
imprint, embed, inject, infect, ingest, in jest

if you can thieve a people's purest selves
they'll believe they're from somewhere else
not of this dirt, not of this dirt, not of this dirt
and people who aren't from around here
need a lot of help in quelling their alien fears
and that's where you step in
highlight what you know to be lacking
