Cult of Ignorance is taken from our forthcoming EP Attention Economy, released on October 2nd 2020.

lyrics

Mute rage
Numb grief
There's only silence when we
Scream out
Our words
All turn to steam
Under the heat from history books left burning
By a movement with a fear of learning
The future isn't ours to hoard

There's so many sworn in
Turn in their hearts and shave their heads
Pledge allegiance to the cult of ignorance

Disdain
Deride
They see red when they see
Anything that doesn't fit the narrative
Of self interest
The barricades they build
To use their warped pride
As their prison
Anti-intellectualism
Steals power from our every word

There's so many sworn in
Another neighbour, another friend
Another buy into the cult of ignorance

This pyramid scheme
Trickle down simplicity
Feeds the perfect misdirection
To the disenfranchised weak
You can paint a target
On the back of anyone in need
Let the hungry hounds
Weigh their heart against their greed

Mute rage
Numb grief
There's only silence when we scream

L. Switzer
