ginglish records-daniel lim, andrew wei, simon roberts – song of oppression lyrics
man has a peculiar capacity for nastiness
when we deny our fellow man his right to habeus-
corpus of the prison in their minds and of society
they’re treated violently, and are stuck with a variety
of inst-tutional and self-imposed oppression
and with the support of two noted author’s expressions
i ask each of you to challenge your perceptions
and see how carlyle and bergeron make this connection
mance is bullied by the older men of the family
his father and carlyle never seem to offer amnesty
as the second born you know he just accepts it
he cannot reject it, because he is so desperate
for the approval of all the other men
and the cycle of oppression begins again
the fire burns brighter with every revolution
there isn’t a solution, the approval gained is an illusion
his reaction is strange, as he gets closer to his brother
it’s his coping mechanism, and now here comes another
example of oppression, featuring their mother
irene and we can discover she’s the subject of
subjugation in her marriage by her husband and her kids
because she is a woman and her company forbids
girls speaking out of order or to even raise a finger
to injustices around her, ergo, they linger
she’s told to “stop this mess” and “shut her mouth”
and in this reading you know there really isn’t a doubt
this family unit has some precepts of casual misogyny
susan b. anthony wouldn’t yield to this progeny
brother carlyle shows us it’s not a conspiracy
rather it’s human nature that exemplifies the tyranny
that ordinary people cause in positions of power
and the obstacles to freedom that the oppressed encounter
harrison bergeron is abused by authority
for no other reason than for his superiority
to his fellow man in talent and in stature
even the handicapper general foresaw the coming disaster
he took a bullet to his chest when he was shot down
and the freedom that he stood for fell to the ground
in one fell swoop they took the life of the h-llion
and thus, another instance of a failed rebellion
george is oppressed by the handicapper general
by a radio device that’s nestled in his ear c-n-l
rendering his focus at the best of times ephemeral
the compliance with it is absolutely instrumental
for the well-being of their crazy new society
he believes that he “doesn’t feel it, it’s a part of me”
it’s the prison in his mind that keeps him shackled
his inability to act like others leaves us baffled
in both of the stories one thing is apparent
oppression in societies is due to inherent
inability to stand up for your own beliefs
that is the underlying theme and motif
