Indoctrination (a Design For Living) Lyrics - Dead Can Dance

in times of great vexation 

when one must choose between what's right and wrong 

freedom so they say 

amounts to the choices you have made 

through all the arbitrary 

rationale concerning liberty 

freedom i must say 

exists within unconditioned minds 

reason has come of age 

how can you be satisfied with things the way they are 

when all that surrounds us now and so much more 

remains inside the keeper's dark embrace? 

the insatiable thirst for power has made 

idols out of mortals gods into clay 

soldiers into heroes children into slaves 

all damned desires their hopes betrayed 

who will suffer the laws that state can decide 

your child's education unless you pay the price? 

who will suffer their laws? 

who will suffer their minds? 

who will suffer their words? 

who will suffer their designs?
