Re - Gaining Unconsciousness Lyrics - Nofx

First they put away the dealers, 

keep our kids safe and off the street. 

Then they put away the prostitutes, 

keep married men cloistered at home. 

Then they shooed away the bums, 

then they beat and bashed the queers, 

turned away asylum-seekers, 

fed us suspicions and fears. 

We didn't raise our voice, 

we didn't make a fuss. 

It's funny there was no one left to notice 

when they came for us. 

Looks like witches are in season, 

you better fly your flag and be aware 

of anyone who might fit the description, 

diversity is now our biggest fear. 

Now with our conversations tapped 

and our differences exposed, 

how ya supposed to love your neighbor 

with our minds and curtains closed? 

We used to worry 'bout big brother, 

now we got a big father and an even bigger muther. 

And still you believe 

this aristocracy gives a fuck about you. 

They put the mock in demockracy 

and you swallowed every hook. 

The sad truth is you would rather 

follow the school into the net 

cuz swimming alone at sea 

is not the kind of freedom you actually want. 

So go back to your crib and suck on a tit 

go bask in the warmth of your diaper. 

You're sitting in shit and piss 

while sucking a giant pacifier, 

a country of adult infants. 

A legion of mental midgets 

all regaining their unconsciousness
