Array ( [sid] => 23504 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => NOT ONLY DICKIE WAS TRICKY [time] => 2003-09-19 15:35:00 [hometext] => "War Is Peace. Freedom Is Slavery. Ignorance is Strength."
-o- [bodytext] => A real neat trick some might say
Others, a very dirty game to play
Certain people have only one view
To make us believe what they want us to

When they see a chance to push us there
They grasp that chance to our despair
To do just this they have waited its clear
Waited and waited year on year

To them democracy is just a tool
A route to achieve THEIR way
And once they have the power they need
To make sure that they stay

These men and women with fossil minds
Would like us all in moral chains
Oh, for our own good no doubt
Well controlled minds
And anaethetised brains

So the time came of their dreams
When all events coincided
An opportunity not to be missed
When all would be decided

To grasp fast the reins of power
To create us in their mould
And if we didn’t do what they want
We would soon all be controlled

To them the new conditions were ideal
Exactly what they needed
Use Sep 11 to maximum effect
All plans for us were speeded

So watch out as they build their police state
This bunch of bigoted souls
All of it built on narrow hate
As your freedoms grow stone cold
