lyrics

When we say what we mean
What we mean is a concept that don't mean a thing
What we think about you, now that's everything

When we say what is true
The truth is a concept we apply to you
It really don't matter just what is true

Apparatus control.

When you take--take your seat
You sit in the places we want you to seat
You see all the things that we want you to see

Should you start questioning
You're posing the questions we want you to pose--
Your posture dictated to neat little rows.

Apparatus control

When you mind--mind these rules
You're doing the things that we want you to do
You don't get to do them 'til we tell you to.

Should you try to break free
Your freedom is just what we want it to be
We purchased your freedom. Now we own everything.

THE POWER & THE GLORY/Bill Mallonee & Vigilantes of Love (2011)
by Bill Mallonee

Come for the '70s Dodge pickup on the cover. Stay for Americana/Folk music played like rock-n-roll (a winning formula if there ever was one). THE GHOSTS THAT I RUN WITH is nothing short of AWESOME. Andy Smash & the Rust Belt Hotrods
