VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997. We are one of the few services online who values our users' privacy, and have never sold your information. We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Show your support by donating any amount. (Note: We are still technically a for-profit company, so your contribution is not tax-deductible.) PayPal Acct: Feedback:

Subject: To: "Big Brother" Author: Crackpot [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 20:16:05 03/27/04 Sat Set Up to Rule We're world industry's Thought Lords The entertainment wing We keep you all in line By fixing your free will Surround you with pop fantasies Just slightly out of reach To soften all the blows Of your forced daily routine We strip-mine your underground culture Take a bite out, and rinse it clean Give ourselves credit for creating it Then sell it back to you At twice the price Our pool of talent vampires Has blown into your town To dazzle, sign and milk you All strictly on our own terms You think you've got a lot to say We'll change that real soon You're not a person any more We've made you a cartoon By the time we're through remolding you You won't even recognize your face There's no end to the eager beavers Drawn the moths to our Babylon's mirage And build a Great Wall around it Like the Great Wall of China It's so big it's seen from outer space Put there to keep starving neighbors Locked outside the gates What's changed today? Empires hoard more than they need And peasants threaten our comfort We'll build a Great Wall around our power Bankrupt Nashville's taxi company So people pay more to drive Plant strategic freeways To divide neighborhoods by color lines We'd rather pay for riot squads Than pump your ghetto back to life We let your schools decay on purpose To build a Great Wall around our power Another Great Wall around our power Warlords in grey suits Take a different route to work each day Second-hand green berets Form the companies' private armies We'll take all your gold But won't teach reading Or feed your poor The League of Gentleman Would rather feed guns to puppet dictators There's too many people in your world And refugees are expensive When they trickled down onto our soil We hunt them and arrest them Classify them insane And put them back on the next train To the waiting arms Of the same death squads they fled We've built a Great Wall around our power Economic Great Wall around our power Worldwide Great Wall around our power Give us your poor Your tired and you're weak We'll send 'em right back To their certain death [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
