The Antibody Politic - Skyclad

Free citizens of Planet Earth

The leptons in some base equation

Bound by swaddling chains from birth

Unto travail and assentation

Given what they’re taught to crave

Denied the truths they sorely need

Shown a future new and brave

Frog-marched towards it at fools' speed

If there’s anyone else out there

Disillusioned just like me

It’s time we tried to turn the tide

With an overwhelming minority

The masses are numb, their ethics awry

Nothing’s as dumb as the Vox Populi

So, if there’s anyone else out there

Aiming sawn-off philosophy

Let’s all unite and make things right

With an overwhelming minority

No seed of hope nor ray of light

Scant succour from the blighted epoch

Rise like Socrates and fight

Take hate’s chalice laced with hemlock

Mankind’s retrograde ascent

We’ve wagered all for unseen winnings

Evolution’s youth misspent

It’s time to forge bold new beginnings

If there’s anyone else out there

Disillusioned just like me

It’s time we tried to turn the tide

With an overwhelming minority

Bolt from the herd bleating like sheep

Hang for your words, don’t perish asleep

If there’s anyone else out there

Aiming sawn-off philosophy

Let’s all unite and make things right

With an overwhelming minority
