Passive Resistance lyrics
Nothing can be further removed
Not everybody wants to be soothed
Ooh, they're out there now
In their padded cells and armchairs
Waiting for the nervous twitch that signals fear
Hooked up to a cardiogram
Set up so it cuts out when you cry or laugh
Worked by those
Who if you screw up treat you to a broken nose
If you tap your toes
Passive resistance
If it's not for them then it's not for you
Passive resistance
Where the only view is the right view
Passive resistance
And it breaks my heart to know there's no heart involved
Put the demographics away
The directors and consultants have the final say
Hired in
Take home all the ones who missed for souvenirs
For their kids to play
Passive resistance
It's all programmed by programmers
Passive resistance
You're just a nail underneath their hammers
Passive resistance
And it breaks my heart to know there's no heart in them
Nothing can be further removed
Not everybody wants to be soothed
Oh, they must be real
People that you never meet and never feel
And they don't feel you
Passive resistance
You get surveyed out of existence
Passive resistance
Just one in a million silent listeners
Passive resistance
It's all programmed by programmers
Passive resistance
You're just a nail underneath their hammers
Passive resistance
And it breaks your heart to know there's no heart involved
Involved, involved
