Paranoiac Demon Dances


paranoia scares
paranoia sells
paranoia burns and kills
it will kiss and tell
paranoia do anything
that you need it to
bring the people
to you

paranoia smiles
paranoia frowns
paranoia screams and shouts
it will bring you down
paranoia say anything
that you want it to
bring the people
to you

marching in the angry masses
whipped up in a ragged frenzy
paranoiac demon dances
evil words are necessary
vote for me i'll save our country
vote for him we all will die
vote for fear 'cause fear will save you
forget about the other side

paranoia loves
paranoia hates
paranoia twists the words
burns truth at the stake
paranoia be anything
that you want it to
bring the people
to you

marching in the angry masses
whipped up in a ragged frenzy
paranoiac demon dances
evil words are necessary
vote for me i'll save our country
vote for him we all will die
vote for fear 'cause fear will save you
forget about the other side

I think that you could apply this to many of the arguments going around now...That alone should make us all sick...We segregate the news to feel good for liberal and conservative...while the truth lies somewhere hidden in the middle...afraid to show it's face because it's too one thing and not enough of the other for those on the fringes.

There are always alternatives...There is truth on all sides all over the place...All of us owe it to ourselves...our country...and our world...to step out and listen to all the news...all the views we can...and not just embrace the information that feels good to us individually.

Hope and fear is the basis of all suffering.
