A gothic song about paranoia in the information age


Torture by wires                                                                                                                                   
Was divinely inspired
Listen to the liars
And see what transpires
Locked up and drugged thin
My, what a sin
Symbolically bound
And slapped around
Watch out, here comes the pin
But I’m plugged in
Plugged in to you

From the beginning they knew
What you were going to do
Because they’re plugged in
Plugged in to you

They have guessing games
To fill your time
To find your guilt
To dull your mind
Shot up and shot down
And left to roam around
Please don’t start
Because you’re afraid of the dark
And the lights plugged in to you
Plugged in to you

From the beginning they knew
What you were going to do
Because they’re plugged in
Plugged in to you


You want to know
A mind that’s not your own
You want to grow
But have nowhere to go
So you sat down
Without a sound
But then the fear grew
Fear of you know who
And he’s plugged in
Plugged in to you

From the beginning they knew
What you were going to do
Because they're plugged in
Plugged into you
