Age Of Unenlightenment

It was the age of unenlightenment
When they required everyone to be the same
Persuasive pictures daily fed into the brain
And everybody not onboard
Could feel the rifle or the sword

It was the age of unenlightenment
They didn't like it?
They'd be crammed into a cell
Often in countries they need not know very well
Because they chose to rock the boat
Couldn't be trusted with their vote

Looking back
You wonder what was going on
Where were the facts?
So obvious something was wrong
Yet they couldn't grind down the great unenlightened forever

Recall the age of unenlightenment
Remember it should never ever come again
It will, of course, because the struggle never ends
Between the haves and have-nots
No matter what it is they've got

Another age of unenlightenment
Oh, it'll surely be upon us very soon
Perhaps as early as tomorrow afternoon
Slaves to convenience
It's our destiny together

Slaves to convenience
It's our destiny together

Slaves to convenience
It's our destiny together

Slaves to convenience
It's our destiny together
