Corporate Children

In this brave new world

Raised by parental bosses

Loved by the economy

Fed a diet of consumption

Disciplined by debt

Educated by educated fools

Comfortably caught in

A rat race / endless maze

In search of government cheese

Long since having chewed on the cage

As a means to escape to live

Pushing levers just to push levers

Because there are pushable levers

Connected to nothing / no thing



Death means as much as life

Merely a replaceable cog

In an unstoppable wheel of

Remove replace recycle

Having been taught / taut to

Wash their brain themselves

Through pixilated pulses

At the last sink of seduction

Silent screens subduing

Silent SCREAMS

Having satiated their digitized

Rolling “Two-Minutes Hate”


“Mirrors on the ceiling
The pink champagne on ice
And she said;

“WE ARE ALL JUST PRISONERS HERE,
OF OUR OWN DEVICE(S)”

And in the master’s chambers
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives
But they just can’t kill the beast”

Music may have saved us, but “as for the Rock-n-Roll they sold that for television commercials a long time ago.”

“The people will not revolt. They will not look up from their screens long enough to notice what is happening.”

– George Orwell  “1984”



But alas we were warned

Yet, nothing was altered

In this “Brave New World”


“Dying swans twisted wings,
Beauty not needed here
Lost my love, lost my life,
In this garden of fear

I have seen many things,
In a lifetime alone
Mother love is no more,
Bring this savage back home

Wilderness house of pain,
Makes no sense of it all
Close this mind dull this brain,
Messiah before his fall

What you see is not real,
Those who know will not tell
All is lost sold your souls
To this brave new world

A brave new world, in a brave new world
A brave new world, in a brave new world
In a brave new world, a brave new world
In a brave new world, a brave new world

Dragon kings dying queens,
Where is salvation now
Lost my life lost my dreams,
Rip the bones from my flesh

Silent screams laughing here,
Dying to tell you the truth
You are planned and you are damned
In this brave new world

A brave new world, in a brave new world
A brave new world, in a brave new world
In a brave new world, a brave new world
In a brave new world, a brave new world

A brave new world, in a brave new world
A brave new world, in a brave new world
In a brave new world, a brave new world
In a brave new world, a brave new world

Dying swans twisted wings,
Bring this savage back home”


– Iron Maiden
