lyrics

under the delusion that they desire
your participation
in the most basic affairs
it’s aching feet it’s calloused hands
the creased document mocks
a directionless persistence
no matter how the ratio breaks
it’s just a sad joke made
where those of weak analysis are easily convinced
as long as they consent they are forever faultless
throw their undeserved support to the wind
and throw their votes in the trash in the end
under the delusion that they inspire
any participation
beyond a bullet catcher in a body bag
a suspect opinion

“In one way or another, as vigorous he-man or kindly father, the candidate must be glamorous. He must also be an entertainer who never bores his audience. Inured to television and radio, that audience is accustomed to being distracted and does not like to be asked to con¬centrate or make a prolonged intellectual effort. All speeches by the entertainer-candidate must therefore be short and snappy. The great issues of the day must be dealt with in five minutes at the most -- and prefera¬bly (since the audience will be eager to pass on to something a little livelier than inflation or the H-bomb) in sixty seconds flat . . . From a pulpit or a platform even the most con¬scientious of speakers finds it very difficult to tell the whole truth. The methods now being used to merchan¬dise the political candidate as though he were a deo¬dorant positively guarantee the electorate against ever hearing the truth about anything.”
--Aldous Huxley “Brave New World Revisited” (1958)
