about

An ode to "soft totalitarianism", an unfortunate type of foreign policy that the USA has all too often embraced.

lyrics

It's just a matter of faith
You can leave the driving to us
Our qualified experts will guide
And they say that we need more guns

Oh-oh-oh-oh

You know the world's a dangerous place
The 3rd world in our back yard
You must spread the multinational message
Give them democracy or give them death

Oh-oh-oh-oh

CHORUS:
Under control
It's under control
Under control
It's under control
Under control
It's under control
Under control
So don't ask any questions
Fall in line, fall in line
Fall in line, fall in line
Fall in line, fall in line
Fall in line, FALL IN LINE!

It's time to fall in line
You must protect our interests
Corporations need more profits
And you'll fight for their right to grow

Oh-oh-oh-oh

You know war is good business
It opens up new markets
And we get to use our guns
Put our investment to work

Oh-oh-oh-oh

CHORUS

We've got to protect our interests
By killing people in 3rd world countries
Those peasants are getting uppity
Just like in Viet Nam

Øhell San Francisco, California

Recorded 30 years ago at The Shoes' Short Order Recorder studio in Zion, IL, these tracks remained mainly abandoned until re-mixed at Beast Of Baden studio in early 2020 and my own Blue Vic studio in mid-2020. Thanks for listening!
