is pushing us to the limit.
Bit by bit, Big Bro takes our freedom.
They want to know they have control.
Our every move, they watch
Every day a new ban.
Their aim? Discreet suppression
of our free will. How can we halt suppression?
How far will they push before we reach our limit?
Will walking become their next new ban?
Do we have time to halt their stop watch?
Can we take back our self control?
Or will our children be under their control?
No feeling allowed. No emotion, just crowd suppression.
How can we stop their ticking watch?
Have they pushed us beyond our limit?
Will we have to fight for our freedom?
Tell me how far Man can tolerate their ban?
Can Man not choose what Man should ban?
Or have we lost all control?
We must fight for our right to freedom.
We must resist all further suppression.
Enough is enough. We all have our limit.
It is time to stop their deathly watch.
Slap the hands that wind their watch.
Sack the man who legislates their next ban.
We all have our limit.
No one has the right to this much control.
It is no life worth living under such suppression.
Wars were fought to protect our freedom.
Our brothers, our sons, our men died for our freedom.
Is it not now time for us to stop their watch?
Put an end to this mass suppression.
Our thoughts, our feelings, our self expression, no man can ban.
We must be master of our own destiny. Self control
is our human goal. We can determine our own limit.
We must stand up for our freedom. Our limit
has been breached. Throw off suppression. Lift their ban.
Watch our children’s backs. Face facts. Teach self control.
