In the mason's lodge and the police station In the bureaucracies of every nation The deals are done, you are betrayed You are defeated before you've ever had your say No cause for alarm You must be docile While you are farmed You (you, you) must submit To the chain of command Here in the stalls you're trapped in tight It only hurts more if you struggle, don't move, don't fight Through the bars of the crush it's so obscene That it's the men with the goads that rule your dreams No cause for alarm You must be docile While you are farmed You (you, you) must submit To the chain of command Ground under the heel of the institution Dare to scratch them you'll feel the retribution You have everything to lose, your loss their gain Your rebellious spirit will feel the pain No cause for alarm You must be docile While you are farmed You (you, you) must submit To the chain of command You, you must submit You, you must submit You, you must submit You, you must submit to the chain of command
