LIVING COMPUTERS

Programmed like computers
Are the kids we raise these days,
Brainwashed since kindergarten
They do whatever the leaders say.

They never take the time to think
About the right to freedom of speech,
They believe whatever the controllers say
Every single lie they teach.

Programmed like living computers
With every single lie, they can find,
Raised as educated cabbages
Virtually without a working mind.

Like computer cards their minds have holes
With important bits cut out,
So they believe the lies of their teachers
And never dare think to doubt.

Like endless rolls of computer tape
The cabbages never think to question,
Doing whatever the leaders say
Following each brainwashed suggestion.

They take in whatever data is programmed
Like a floppy disc or CD-Drive,
They don’t know how to think for themselves
Their independence has surely died.
