There ain't no conspiracy, The truth's hiding in plain sight, There ain't no conspiracy, Just economics on the supply side, Ain't no conspiracy, oh no, Just politics and lies, But if you start by killing off the truth, you end in genocide. Fear and paranoia spread like a rash across the nation, You hear it pumping out from all those talk show radio stations, But if you listen carefully you can hear the truth beneath, The aftershocks from a 1980s working class defeat. No but there ain't no chemtrails pumped from planes, To force you to obey, There ain't no Nasa moon land hoax and the earth ain't flat today. There ain't no sinister pc plot man, to corrupt the youth, And there ain't no shadow illuminati in lizard-people suits. And it ain't no conspiracy, The truth's hiding in plain sight, It ain't no conspiracy, Just economics on the supply side, It ain't no conspiracy, oh no, Just politics and lies, But if you start by killing off the truth, you end with genocide. Looking over your shoulder as you walk on down the checkout aisle, The robots pack your shopping up and greet you with a smile, But you'd rather plump for the billionaires on a racist constitution, Than look for any kind of hope in political solutions. But now there ain't no chemtrails pumped from planes, To force you to obey, There ain't no Nasa moon land hoax and the earth's still round today. When the president's best men come with white power chants and tiki torches, Would you stand against or say "well that's just horses for courses"? It ain't no conspiracy, The truth's hiding in plain sight, It ain't no conspiracy, Just economics on the supply side, Ain't no conspiracy, oh no, Just politics and lies, But if you start by killing off the truth, you end with genocide. But there ain't no chemtrails pumped from planes, That force you to obey, There ain't no Nasa moon land hoax and the earth's still round today. When the president's best men come with white power chants and tiki torches, Would you stand against or say "well that's just horses for courses"? It ain't no conspiracy, The truth's hiding in plain sight, It ain't no conspiracy, Just economics on the supply side, Ain't no conspiracy, oh no, Just politics and lies, But if you start by killing off the truth, you end with genocide. I said you start by killing off the truth, you end with genocide.

Way up on the hillside on a plateau by the lake Stood a crooked house with crooked doors, broke windows and a rusty gate Inside lived an old lady by the name of Jenny Horne And a daughter with a broken hand, the pair were tattered and torn Well the villagers told their children, "Don't you ever go to that place For an evil lurks inside will put the devil to disgrace" And the children knew, yeah they were told curiosity killed the cat But they couldn't resist trying with a temptation like that So taking cover underneath the moonlight They went up to the hillside, they were looking for a scare And when they got to the top, she just gave them milk and cookies Showed them how to rebel against a society that don't care Well the villagers heard that story and they took it as a tale of woe Yeah they needed tight conformity to make, work, stop and go So they gathered in the village hall with their pitchforks in their hands A righteous and indignant hunt set out to cleanse the land Yeah they marched upon the hillside, dragged Jenny out by her hair Judge, jury, executioner, they tried her then and there They tore her house and built a fire and tied her to the stake Picked up burning charred remains and tossed them in the lake In truth they killed her off for thinking about tomorrow The villagers, they wanted to stay in yesteryear And with her dying breath she told them, "You can burn my body But you know you ain't never going to kill off an idea"

Yes we rise and fall, taking in events now you're standing against the wall, Yeah we rise and fall, me soy no suerte en Habana, Yeah we rise and fall with our backs against the wall, Blinded to the bloodstains on the ceiling of the hall, They don't need no prison or no mass propaganda, Just sow confusion as a way to command ya, Well it prints out green but the money runs red, Controls your mind like a chip in the head, Multinationals trading on your insecurities, Landlords put up rent when they say the market's free and you know: We rise and fall... Well we rise and fall with our backs against the wall, Chalk it up to experience, you'll still be standing tall, They're the ones that's closing down the possibilities, Take all the power no responsibility, And it's a fucked up situation and a fucked up belief, To build yourself up but you can't get no relief, Who gets to desire is who gets to live as well, Who gets to choose standing at the gates of hell? Well you know, We rise and fall...
