lyrics
JUST BENEATH THE SKIN
Just beneath the skin
You will hardly know it’s in
Push a button if you want to know our names
Invented in the lab
To keep the low life under tabs
Something tells me that there is another aim
Just beneath the skin
Keep the masses disciplined
So the mob won’t stray too far out of line
Tamper with their choice
Artificial inner voice
Yet they tell it is harmless and benign
CHORUS
JUST BENEATH THE SKIN (REPEAT)
Just beneath the skin
Cleverly we’re taken in
Everybody wants the children free from harm
Before very long
Some will think it hardly wrong
If a chip is put inside their children’s arm
Just beneath the skin
Like a shot of heroin
In the interest of the world’s security
(They say) ‘We’re on high alert
Come on people, it won’t hurt
Be injected, give them your identity
CHORUS
Just beneath the skin
It’s a game we may not win
In the first place, we can’t see we’re being played
If you’ve got a doubt
You should always check it out
Truth is hard to face but do not be afraid
Truth is hard to face but do not be afraid
CHORUS
