In Deference Songtext / Lyric

Ethically aligned to the cause -

Or so I thought

A cause that decried the exploits

Where masses are coerced



Often, social justice is a cynical smokescreen

Only at their bidding



Close-circuit reach - don't overstep my boundaries

Such boundaries that crumble under order



Sincerely you serve your own ends -

Do as I do

I can't tell my left from my right -

Corruption blurs






Face the wrong direction

And we risk containment

Whilst they sanction murder



Close-circuit reach quickly erases all travesties

Such travesties waved away with feeble ease



It's adjudged to be uncivil

You should be at a lower reach

Bound over

Because open thinking is an act of complicity



Leaders are leading by example

'Rights' and 'wrongs' on a sliding scale

Sit atop the order of importance

You too can reap the power harvest



The 'deviant' young get in the way

We become suitably distraught

Whilst their judges take lives near and afar

And reap the power harvest
