lyrics

Mass formation psychosis
Has people marching in line
Saying yes to questions
That never make it in their mind
The media twists wires
To make connections that aren’t there
And disconnect the others
The ones that show you how to care

Mass formation psychosis
At war with voices of descent
To blur out God’s connection
Make sure you sinners don’t repent

Fractured frames of thinking
Implanted by a box
Digital images dancing
Making your head a box of rocks

Mass Formation Psychosis
Will be the death of us all
If we don’t raise our voices
We’re all gonna fall

What ya gonna do about
How are you gonna get away
What you gonna do about it
If you’re afraid to say
What you need to say

Mass formation psychosis
Dust and chaos in the air
Never mind the facts now
We will fill you your despair

Get in the evil chain
You are made of clay
there are hands shaping your brain
Telling you what to say

Mass formation psychosis
Can’t see the red flags
the news anchor is laughing
As his sloppy sidekick brags

Fill you with propaganda
We will tell you what to see
We’ve told you what to say
And we will tell you who to be

Mass formation psychosis
Will be the death of us all
If we don’t raise our voices
We’re all gonna fall

What ya gonna do about
How are you gonna get away
What you gonna do about it
If you’re afraid to say
What you need to say
