LYRICS:

Overlord
Of course
Of course
Of course we’re enlightened
We are light beings
Just pull down the mask son
Never
Easier said than done when desires mask needs
And the truth is unsung Overlord
We met with Edward Bernays in a maze of mass consumption
To tame the beasts that we are without the need of a truncheon 
Crowded nations, controlled by public relations 
Propaganda in peace time, podcasts and functions
Premeditated assumptions discussions at lunch time
As I conform to your normality whilst sipping on plush wine
In Trafalgar Square amongst statues of mass murderers
Truth dodging hurdlers the anxious lives of worriers 
Awarding Nobel peace prizes for committing genocides 
There is a human somewhere behind that ideology 
There is a human somewhere behind that chest beating 
Life’s fleeting moments you’ll be a long time sleeping 
See time is a great teacher but kills all its students 
And time will only tell if you picked the right movement
It read life’s so cheap on the invoice from the lawyer 
A toxic cocktail of pride and paranoia
They feed on unfit minds and fill our prisons with childhood trauma 
Institutionalism both comforting and awkward 
We’re all cursed to share the damaged vision of god
Poor sods never satisfied with anything we've got
Primitive forces embedded in our structures
Strive for mindfulness and other self help buzz words
Anti-fragile they curse you but words won’t hurt you
When you’re fucked up and drunk on poetry and virtue

But yo they got to be accepted
The what
The life is hectic
The life is hectic
But yo they got to be accepted
The what
The life is hectic
The life is hectic

We murdered the wise old oak tree for aesthetic purposes 
For the sake of your mansion the villagers were burdened with
No acorns this winter 
Rationing the maggots to share them out at dinner 
Too famished to riot on a below average diet 
Miseducated kids you cannot learn if you can’t buy it 
Pareto distribution cake manifest a chance to slice it 
And gorge on that gluttony and escape a life of drudgery 
Shovelling shit in a puddle of piss 
What kind of cuddle of this?
It’s you a headlock you prick 
My 6 million year old grandmother was yours too 
Now you’re a chimp at the zoo and I’m a human without a clue 
Compartmentalised mental guys 
The orders that are used to rule our minds
That were made up in our minds in the first place
What the fuck mate 
We mastered predators and pandemics
And though we’re far from angelic
There was good in us all but it was the darkness we relished 
Alienated neighbours, self centred creatures 
Fitting in by touching up your less than perfect features 
You’re zombified, robotic is more appropriate 
But never will you belong in their Aquarian utopia 
You’re an opiate disguising as an upper 
An undercover, subharmonic dwelling motherfucker 
Floating in a square wave, the Mandela effect 
Eve and a forbidden pear shaped fruit 
That got deleted later when she wasn’t feeling cute
Shooting down questions fearfully projecting
The overlords suggestions not bounded by dimensions

But yo they got to be accepted
The what
The life is hectic
The life is hectic
But yo they got to be accepted
The what
The life is hectic
The life is hectic
The life is hectic
The life is hectic
The life is hectic
The life is hectic
