Hawkwind - Coded Languages lyrics

rate me

Investigate the meaning of your sentence

What is it telling you ?

Where does it begin and where does it end ?

Question the nature of your orders

Question the nature of your orders

Question the nature of your orders

What do they want from you ?

A rendezvous upon the sound

The cars rev up the word goes round

The words are weapons of their will

Their words can hurt

Their words can kill

A burning phrase can burn a town

A syllable can bring you down

Their languages are coded

Your image is eroded

Listen to the sound you heard

Learn to fight against their word

Vocabularies of death

Destruction in their breath

They use the lie

They use the myth

Seek only to confuse

And liberty abuse

The lies they tell are pretty

And blow up another city

They steal away your freedom

And your love

Their sentimental calling signs

Are calculatingly designed

To rob you of your mind and time

And still you listen to

The lulling drone of reassuring voices

Tunes to take away your choices

Make you slaves to fancy words and phrases

Until you're pushing up the daisies

They steal away your freedom

and your love
