Manipulator
Insect Warfare Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They got shafted, you got rich, falling for the bait and switch.
Don't care who you fuck over, climbing up the ladder.
Secret agents, fbi is protecting your web of lies.
You can only push a man so far, then he'll see you for what you are.
Once our countries leader, politicians are all scum.
Fucked them over to earn their votes, now they want to cut your throat.
The public won't be fooled again, you can't talk your way out this mess.
Two presidents sentenced to death, a dark conspiracy put to rest.
Insect Warfare's song "Manipulator" is a commentary on the corruption and deceit within politics and the manipulation of the masses. The lyrics highlight the exploitation of the ignorant by those in power and the consequences of such actions. The opening lines, "The ignorant believed your lies, you used them up to win your prize. They got shafted, you got rich, falling for the bait and switch," criticize those who take advantage of people's naivety for their own gain.
The song goes on to accuse these manipulators of being unconcerned with who they harm on their way up the ladder, referencing secret agents and the FBI. The line "Once our countries leader, politicians are all scum" demonstrates the disillusionment with the political system, where people in power are seen as corrupt and manipulative. The chorus of "The public won't be fooled again, you can't talk your way out of this mess" suggests that there will be consequences and accountability for those who deceive people.
The conclusion of the song takes a darker turn with the lines "To pay the price for what you've done, the blood of you and your first son. Two presidents sentenced to death, a dark conspiracy put to rest." This indicates that there will be a reckoning for those who have manipulated and betrayed people, and that justice will be served.
