HOT ISSUES @ bpeg.ca

Can you feel it yet, can you see it?
‘Cause it’s happening I guarantee it
A tide is rising working underground
To bring this system of corruption and consumption down!

How did you like your last election?
Or as I call it a process of pre-selection
You think different colours on signs represent a real choice?
Man, these fools are all speaking with the same voice
Maybe that’s why turnout reached a staggering 50%
This province is rapidly becoming low rent

What we need is an ideological eradication
Before we lose what little is left of our nation,
Of this system capitalistic, materialistic, hedonistic
Not enough carrot, too much stick

Have you done the mathematics
Or do I have to draw you a schematic
4 in 20 give McGuinty a majority?!
What the hell is wrong with me?
When I think I still live in a democracy
Get this parasitic system off of me

MP3, CD, DVD, HDTV…
Ever wonder why all the distractions rhyme with free or tree or things that really matter like just BE…
At one with nature and stop living in prison of your own construction
And banish the lies of psychological occupation
Remove yourself from the process of converting the living to the dead
And stop the brands and slogans and perversity from swimming inside your head

Can you feel it yet, can you see it?
‘Cause it’s happening I guarantee it
A tide is rising working underground
To bring this system of corruption and consumption down!

Get out to your local big box, arctic fox
Can’t hear the squawk of the Great Auk or the songs of the Beothuk…What the $#@%?
I couldn’t make this stuff up
This culture just won’t stop

Condemning species and cultures to eradication, extirpation, extinction and annihilation!
Are these words too confusing? Can’t you see the connection?
Pick up a dictionary or a book and stop twiddling your thumbs flipping from station to station.
The media thinks elections are there for our entertainment
But what we have is lies, disinformation and cultural enslavement
Indoctrination followed by mass capitulation
And it happens in every “civilized” nation
Without fear of retaliation
Democracy has degraded to a sporting event and we’re just spectators
Blindly marking X’s on paper giving credibility to the next dictator

Whenever some are brave enough to truly challenge this authority
By taking to the streets demanding peace and life with dignity and equality
Remember Winnipeg, Haymarket, Seattle, Kent State or Quebec City!
They bring it down upon us like a hammer
Tear gas Rubber bullets or real ones or rendition in some foreign rat-hole slammer
What they want is complete obedience
And consumerist subservience

Gotta keep the militaristic war drums drumming
And this cancerous economy humming
Invent some foreign enemy
And keep the populace sedated with booze, pills,gadgets and pornography

Can you feel it yet, can you see it?
‘Cause it’s happening I guarantee it
A tide is rising and I know it
This system, we’ll overthrow it

Man those Romans really knew what they were doing
Before they got corrupted and fell in ruin
Keeping their populations in sedation with circuses and bread
While irrigating, expanding and quenching their empire with rivers of blood and mountains of dread

Today it’s the same we’re being kept fat and lazy
And our knowledge of history is being made intentionally hazy
Keeping us buying and shopping and filling our houses with all the products the system keeps flogging
While the people in the 3rd world are doing the real slogging
Picking your coffee and cocoa or scraping coal from a mine
and breeding kids to fill the sweatshops so you can buy a shirt for $7.99

I tell you what I know and you may not want to hear it
This system is about to meet people who no longer fear
They are full of seething rage and hatred for this immoral culture
Which treats the earth like a rotting carcass and we’re the hungry vulture

Do you have enough distractions yet?
Are you being adequately entertained?
Have your freedoms faced enough contractions yet?
Have your rights been sufficiently constrained?
How about your habits and patterns? Are they yet completely surveilled?
How about your movements and travel? Are they now somewhat curtailed?

Well you aint seen nothing yet. This system doesn’t trust you
It thinks you are a consumable cog and when you’re spent will crush you.
It won’t be truly happy until every thought you have or move you make
Is patrolled or tolled or told to you or recorded on some tape

Take back this world and rip what’s yours from their greedy hands.
A purge is needed to cleanse what contaminates this land
Throwing a spanner in the works of this death cult, picking easy targets
The globalists, polluters, the liars and the prophets of the market
Take to the streets the damage we must inflict it.
The current ideology, we must contradict it
We must act in secret taking actions with autonomy
With deception, and disguises sabotaging the economy
Blowing up gasoline tankers under concrete overpasses,
Toppling towers of communication causing chaos for the masses
This system is a house of cards. A fragile yet hungry snake
The destiny of those who follow decided by the actions that we take

We outnumber them, we’re right, we just have to believe
That the only limit to what we can attain is what we can conceive

Can you feel it yet, can you see it?
‘Cause it’s happening I guarantee it
A tide is rising working underground
To bring this system of corruption and consumption down
