The Fundamentals of Brainwashing - Steve Hackett

作词：Steve Hackett

作曲：Steve Hackett

History's a vinyl record stuck in a groove

A hundred warring sects claiming to have the truth

Blessed robots with so much to prove

You could say so much to lose

The scorching air

The slumbering mass

Of forgotten things

Preening peacocks ignite the fuse

Trumpets and promises a turn of the screw

To have a human face we'll have to start all over again

Back to the drawing board all the boys and men

The scorching air

The slumbering mass

Of forgotten things

When you lose your kite in the wind and fall on the trees

You're sucked in bulletin blown out on T V

The glory of the past is really only a tomb

The thing from the crypt long ago nurtured you

The scorching air

The slumbering mass

Of forgotten things
