about
Robby has written this song about how the government is keeping us all in line under arbitrariness. It is up to us to unite and fight this.
lyrics
Break the chain, stand up and fight!
We’re stars, born to shine
But the government is keeping us in line
We’re trapped, hypnotized
While the media is feeding us with lies
Locked down, lost control
As the world we know is coming to a fall
Break the chain stand up and fight
Take away our freedom
No they ain’t got the right
Shake awake get up and unite
Free your energy, look the enemy
In the eye
Dark suits, in the shade
Bring solutions to the problems they create
One world, one design
One religion to possess the global mind
Stand tall, stand your ground
While the world will only try to tear you down
Break the chain stand up and fight
Take away our freedom
No they ain’t got the right
Shake awake get up and unite
Free your energy, look the enemy
In the eye
“Shake your chain to earth like dew.
Which in sleep has fallen on you
Ye are many, they are few”
Break the chain stand up and fight
Take away our freedom
No they ain’t got the right
Shake awake get up and unite
Free your energy, look the enemy-
Break the chain stand up and fight
Take away our freedom
No they ain’t got the right
Shake awake get up and unite
Free your energy, look the enemy
Free your energy, look the enemy
In the eye
"The government controls its peoples actions and speech
Every move and word is watched and heard
And the threat of what happens to those who step out of line is always luming overhead."
David Icke:
"It’s all about total and utter control
Total and utter control.
It’s a technocracy they’re creating
You go and look your children and your grandchildren in the eye, and you justify to them you doing NOTHING
You doing nothing? Nothing??"
"This could be the turning point
When humanity got off its frigging knees"
