Return of the thought police


[Groom, West]

From a room in a house on a hill
The World can change on the turn of a will
Ooh there’s no need to remind us
Ooh you’re killing us with kindness
On the left on the left on the left
A desolate horizon
On the right on the right on the right
A destiny is rising
We forget we forget we forget
The signs and implications
We deny we deny we deny
Our final condemnation
From the dust of oppression and foes
We have risen from our chains
Now the rust of complacency grows
As we give it all away
How did our conscience get so seared
That we could all stand by
As victory disappears before our eyes
We can fight against corruption
We can stand for what is true
But we fall when we surrender
To the corporation view
And our faith can only offer
What we faithfully pursue
I promise you I promise you
On the left on the left on the left
Apostasy has spoken
On the right on the right on the right
Our promises are broken
All the things we believe in and know
Fall like targets in a war
All the thoughts we were thinking long ago
Have become unthinkable
How did our conscience get so eared
That we could all stand by
As history disappears before our eyes
We can fight against corruption
We can stand for what is true
But we fall when we surrender
To the corporation view
And our faith can only offer
What we faithfully pursue
I promise you I promise you
It's a silent revolution as so thoughtfully
We're persuaded til we're crushed and jaded
Feigning ignorance faking innocence
To belie our inner voice
They shoot us with ideology kill with policy
So protection overrides objection
Contemplation a violation
Til the memory of freedom is gone
Til the memory of freedom is gone
We can fight against corruption
We can stand for what is true
But we fall when we surrender
To the corporation view
And our faith can only offer
What we faithfully pursue
I promise you I promise you
We can fight against corruption
We can stand for what is true
But we fall when we surrender
To the corporation view
And our faith can only offer
What we faithfully pursue
I promise you I promise you

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
