BmThe loudest in the room are now rewDarded
BmThe academics gone into hidDing
BmThey can't control their students or the tDhought police
The Anew newspeak, Orwellian dreBmam

BmDebate is now controlled, short trials and shDaming
BmImmediate feelings over futDure
BmThe solitary fighter simply bDeing right
Pick a trAibe boy, scripted sBmide

DPeace of mind in a pAicture from afar
Like a sBmatellite
Like a sGatellite
