Intro
1):
I've been gipped, I've been framed.
How did it happen? Who's to blame?
Childhood innocence, left me dead open
for the stories and anaesthetizing notions.
Sucked it in, it was done with some finesse,
indoctrinated to cluelessness.
Keep your cool, preserve the status quo,
was the silent message, I swallowed long ago.
Ref. 1):
Don't think once, don't think twice,
it only causes trouble.
Numb your mind instead, with blandishments.
No one appreciates someone getting subtle.
Don't think once, just fall in line,
and keep that rouble rollin'.
The world's full of meretricious charm,
Lust for profit, don't need no cajolin'.
2):
I've been gipped, I've been jinxed.
How did it happen? What's the fix?
Childhood naivety, left me exposed
to the salving of placebos.
Don't ask questions, they'll think you're mightiy strange.
Don't dig deeper, you'll be arraigned.
Keep to the straight and narrow, it's your safest bet,
If the boredom, hasn't crucified you yet.
Ref. 2):
Don't think once, don't get in the way,
it only causes trouble.
Appease your mind, with blandishments.
No one appreciates you getting subtle.
Don't think once, there's no need,
science has already rigged the question.
It's collecting the evidence,
To smother the slightest contention.
Slow ref. (outro):
Don't put your mind at ease.
Willy P. don't hold the keys.
Willy P. must be dethroned, along with Pleon Exia.
Thinking once, thinking twice, thinking thrice, to get through the aporia.
