They don't even have to kick down our doors 
We let them in with a smile and a thank you 
Media ingrained police state 
Our fears create the cycle of reliance 

And if you think for one fucking second 
That they're not bleeding you for all their worth 
Dig your grave now and save them the trouble 
Tie yourself down to the fairy tales 

The Holocaust will not be televised 
That is unless it becomes marketable 
In the market of fear 
In the market of flesh and blood 

Sold to you by the new improved Jack booted thugs 
We've lost direction Senses rot away 
Kneel and beg for safety 
Just forget the whip marks on your back.

Around the world, and in America specifically, we are being subjected to a regularly scheduled program of fear and violence brought to us by a twin attack of the media and politicians who feed our fears on each other 

Blacks fear whites, whites fear anyone different, and we all fear that which we do not know, even 
though, according to many studies, violent crime statistics are down 

We keep adding more police and giving those police more and more power 
We are trading our rights for the illusion of safety and in doing so we give the real criminals even more potency
