The Great Brain Robbery - Skyclad

Why do you still refuse to see

This vast global conspiracy

That’s infiltrating lives and homes

A race replaced by servile drones

Chips are down and stakes are high

Milkshake minds are sucked bone dry

If their fiendish schemes should fail

They’ll smoke us all but won’t inhale

The evidence was there

Beneath our noses all the time

We’re too gullible to care

They conceived the perfect crime

The Great Brain Robbery

Met my neighbour one fine morning

Spoke of planetary warming

She looked at me and laughed

Wait and see who’s laughing last

Dread to think how deep they stoop

Dredging for new dopes to dupe

Plots so blatant yet sublime

Fool all the people all the time

False prophets ever lie

Of non-existent better days

Then as judgement hour draws nigh

They make their hasty getaways

The Great Brain Robbery

Leaders of united nations

Speeches preached from TV stations

Truth or falsehood, no one cares

All just want to be millionaires

Armed with charm, the slick of wit

Contort each thought, waive every writ

Devise new means to beat the charge

Disguised 'neath urbane camouflage

They subjugate free will

With intolerance and strife

Won’t be content until

They own your money and your life
