Smear Campaign

[Music: Harris, Lyrics: Greenway] 


Ethically aligned to the cause - 
Or so I thought 
A cause that decried the exploits 
Where masses are coerced 


Often, social justice is a cynical smokescreen 
Only at their bidding 


Close-circuit reach - don't overstep my boundaries 
Such boundaries that crumble under order 


Sincerely you serve your own ends - 
Do as I do 
I can't tell my left from my right - 
Corruption blurs 


Face the wrong direction 
And we risk containment 
Whilst they sanction murder 


Close-circuit reach quickly erases all travesties 
Such travesties waved away with feeble ease 


It's adjudged to be uncivil 
You should be at a lower reach 
Bound over 
Because open thinking is an act of complicity 


Leaders are leading by example 
'Rights' and 'wrongs' on a sliding scale 
Sit atop the order of importance 
You too can reap the power harvest 


The 'deviant' young get in the way 
We become suitably distraught 
Whilst their judges take lives near and afar 
And reap the power harvest
