Lyrics
Shoot the arrows at our feet
And convert the stumbling
"You're entitled to your thinking,"
You grant us as you speak
Then warn repercussions
At first being oblique
Then amplify the horror
With measured callousness
To stifle all dissention
Before it is expressed
Using fear to peddle it
Someone who's scared is not hard to convince
The people wait for instructions
Hoping to ease their nervousness
You plant the seeds of nightmares
To cultivate concern
And promise there's an answer
For those willing to learn
And for sheparding the journey
You'll accept payment by mail
Or they can log onto you're bullshit
Where there's more wisdom for sale
Using fear to peddle it
Someone who's scared is not hard to convince
