lyrics

There's a man round at the office
He's pulling on the grapevine
He only listens to the loudest voices
A puppet in a suit and a prison

There's a man under all that armour
And to be honest you can see the cracks
As he strains to lift it over him
You'd almost start to feel bad for him
Until you realise that would be treasonous
A dummy for a hidden ventriloquist
When his lips move, who is it speaking?

When they come knocking down your door, well
What are you going to do, man?
They'll take you home
They'll bag you up
It's only an act of war
But you don't fight back
You can't say no
You can't say
In the free world
How could this happen?
In the free world
Anything goes

Do you want the same as I want?
Well, I know how not to get there
If you keep on shouting ``freedom!''
You will forget what it means to be free

The queen is dead
Long live the king
