Fascism*

To shut an open society to no uncertain fate
 An end result of the merging of the corporation and the state
 Bleeding us, bleeding us to death
 With no one to turn to and nowhere to run
 Hold on tight because the worst is yet to come
 Create the threat, a terrifying act of violence
 Control the press to program mass compliance
 Empower the police, soldiers patrol the streets
 Random detention and release
 Target activists and put them on a list
 One day we'll all be terrorists
 As we descend to the depths
 As we descend of the past
 As we descend to the next chapter of fascism now
 And they start coming for you
 First they came for the outcasts and I didn't speak
 Because their reasons for fighting I just would not believe
 Then they sent us to war and still I didn't speak
 As all these people were dying based on lies and deceit
 Then they shut down the protests, limit freedom of speech
 Does anyone even notice when history repeats?
 With no one left to keep fighting you ask, "What can I do?"
 When no one's left to speak up and they start coming for you
