Propaganda
DJ K.I.K.O. Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is world reflection
This is war
No bullets will be wasted
Not anymore
You've got a name, you've got a number
You've got your heart, you've got your soul
You are the lone survivor
Among the mass control

Propaganda! Don't believe in what they say
Propaganda! Another war you can't escape
Propaganda! Don't you trust in what you hear
Propaganda! The enemy you can not fear

I see manipulation
I see abomination
I see annihilation
And human extinction
I've got to drink another lie
I got my will, I will survive
I've got to blame society
Eternally

Propaganda! Don't believe in what they say
Propaganda! Another war you can't escape
Propaganda! Don't you trust in what you hear
Propaganda! The enemy you can not fear

Just let me
Bring my mind back
No! Don't want to hear, don't want to know
Just want to break your face and
Bring my mind back
No! I will survive, I'm going to kill
I'm going to have my life and
Bring my mind back

Stay away from me!
Primitive war
