Bruce's Diary Lyrics - Nomeansno

On the top floor, from my penthouse 

I survey what I rule 

High rises 

Thin curtains 

All lights go out by two 

No one ever sees me 

Yet I know all of you 

It's sort of like a small town 

When your whole lives are on my computer 

Ah... Ah... 

All the power, none of the stress 

So much better being hatchet man 

Than a henpecked attention-starved target 

Like the big man himself 

Our goal is perpetual economic victory 

We play with you to amuse ourselves 

Our motives are personal 

Our motives are political 

Our motives are sexual 

I know 

Hi Ho Hi Ho Hi Ho 

The laws we make for others 

Don't apply to us 

We do what we want 

A lethargic population is the key to our control 

Who'd rather watch someone's life on tv 

Than participate in their own 

Mentally they feel helpless 

Physically they just give up 

We priced the healthy food so high 

They can only buy soda pop 

A house broken bee colony 

That goes home after 5 

Too burnt and glazed to threaten us 

With purpose in their lives 

Ah... Ah... 

Ha Ha Ha 

We drug their snacks at work 

Mix hormones in kids lunch at school 

Don't be a pill, it's good for you 

The men grow up muscular 

Short tempered and kinda dumb 

The women develop those outrageous curves 

The kind you only used to see 

In the movies and magazines 

We banned and rounded up for ourselves 

Hi-Ho 

Hi-Ho 

It's off to do our work you go 

We melt you with acid rain 

Keep you poor for economic gain 

Convince you your biggest threat 

Is drugs and terrorists 

They don't even have to be real 

Just find a face, make up a crime 

Run sensational headlines 

Works every time 

The people must not realize 

They are being manipulated 

For them to be manipulated effectively 

We give 'em things to worry about 

Buying clothes and losing weight 

Your lack of curiosity 

Is the key to our success 

Your lack of curiosity is the key to our success 

Hi Ho 

Hi Ho 

Hi Ho 

Life's so simple and happy 

When everything's clear.
