Protest Song Lyrics Copyright 2014 Brian Elum
May be reproduced if credit is given
The grid men are coming They’re knocking at our doors Installing the machinery of a covert war. They say it’s just a meter No reason to object But this Fascist insistence is highly suspect. They’re leaping over fences They’re cutting locks and chains
They’ll break down our defenses, then radiate our brains.
The system is brutal Resistance is futile Or so they will have us believe. We are the resistance And we are persistent
And , NO, we will not be deceived
The grid men are cunning They want to quell all doubt They’re audacity is stunning. They say you can ‘opt out’ They’ll still install the meter Then bill you for their fable About how it’s much safer with the wireless disabled. But what they will not tell you The dirty jaded lairs
One of the two transmitters will still bleed into your wires
The system is brutal Resistance is futile Or so they will have us believe. We are the resistance And we are persistent
And , NO, we will not be deceived
