lyrics

I’m simple Simon and simple-minded, you want me on my knees to you
And who’s deciding what’s redefined, of what you can think and speak

‘Cause you know, if truth be told, you won’t save the day

If I’m on my knees you’ll make a friend out of me
As long as I’ll be siamese to what you want
And all I see are systems proselytising
They cancel and they shut down and they close the door

Dystopian dancing, image enhancing, coming to a town near you
Staying silent…coming to a town near you

‘Cause you know, if truth be told, you won’t save the day

If I’m on my knees you’ll make a friend out of me
As long as I’ll be siamese to what you want
And all I see are systems proselytising
They cancel and they shut down and they close the door
Social media armchair commentary,
I don’t attend that university of thought
Who controls the narrative and the way society can think and speak
Is this what you want, is it what you want?

I believe we’re walking, I believe we’re sliding down
Slopes we don’t, quite know the results hmmm

I’ll die on my feet rather than living on my knees
I will not appease to what you want
And I believe you’ll make a friend out of me
As long as I’ll be siamese to what you want
And all I see are systems proselytising
They cancel and they shut down and they close the door
And I believe you’ll make a friend out of me
What if we then disagree then what’s what?
Is there a freedom of expression anymore
Or is it on the way out the door
What’s your thoughts, what’s your thoughts
Or would you not rather say?
