Never been safe to live in contrast 
They're passing out muzzles 
With the gas masks 
This one's for you and all you've done 
And what we will become 
When they tear out your throat 
Because you're singing different notes 

They call it the "new macarthyism" 
The only thing that's new 
Is the name it's coming from 
Just leave your opinions at the door 
They're not welcome anymore 
Extinguish the light in your mind so they can get some sleep 

Less is never more 
Hear them knocking at your door 
Take one for the team 
Bury what you think 
Save yourself now 
Let ideology sink 
Hypocrisy surrounds 
Say what you want 
Don't say it outloud 

It's not as simple as the last time 
But everybody suffers 
When we accept the party line 
Simple arguments 
Now accusations of dissent 
A statement of fact 
Now there's no chance 
To turn your back 

Walking a tight rope 
So close to falling down 
You take a wrong step 
You're tumbling to the ground 
We've lost our senses 
And we are falling down
