New Jerusalem

(album: Pylon - 2015)

Fragmented communities staring at their screens in silence
All-night surfing till the dawn
Everyone's hooked on online porn
All the people indifferent to torture
The media gives the thumbs up to the Gaza slaughter
Shallow, no attention span
No empathy for the common man

In Iraq a quarter of a million dead
Howdya feel about being misled?
The number one surveillance state
Zero regulation and there's no debate
More lies, manufactured enemies
Divided nations need a common foe
A hornet's nest created by the West
A new world order is the only goal

Look what we've become
Brainwashed Britain
Look what we've become
New Jerusalem!
New Jerusalem!

Another twat in the Number 10 flat
Dancing to the tune of Goldman Sachs
Another knob got the top job
Selling out to corporations
Culture, adult entertainment, calibrated to dumb down
Big Brother said 'Strictly Come Dancing'
And everyone was dancing round and round

In Iraq a quarter of a million dead
Howdya feel about being misled?
The number one surveillance state
Zero regulation and there's no debate
More lies, manufactured enemies
Divided nations need a common foe
A hornet's nest created by the West
A new world order is the only goal

Look what we've become
Brainwashed Britain
Look what we've become
New Jerusalem!
New Jerusalem!
New Jerusalem!
