the tangent – proxy lyrics

Loading...

let’s do it all by proxy
so we never have to take the hit
we can help them fight each other
so the masters of the world can take control of it

let’s do it all incognito
never put our names to what we do

let’s do it all by numbers
it worked before and it will again
let’s keep this thing on budget
gonna need a bonus at the end

let’s keep this thing well on schedule
so when their time has come ours can begin
and we can sit back and taste the spoils of wars
that we never even fought in – by proxy

and we can keep it all clean
plastic free and charity backed
international quango approved
easy to set up if you’ve got the knack

make unicef a visible partner
which will come in useful when the freedom fries are down
and the kids can sit back and meet the dogs of war
that we sent to bomb their town
and we did it all by proxy

we think that everything is on the level
we think that household names deserve our trust
and they think that as long as they stick to the printed agreement
we’re over their barrel in our consumer l-st

so we try to be what we were wanting to be
(although we’ll never see it)
but we see only what they want us to see
(the price is never free)

we think that our country is the honest injun
we think that sh-thole places don’t have the right
to even gather the coffee dregs from our conference tables
where we flex our muscles in our wrongly gained right

we’re so big that we often trample a fly
(although we’ll never see it)
and the fly needs ten million people to die
(the price is never free)

there’s been a change in how we see the world (i’m not immune)
somehow we all became -n-lysts while dancing to the same old tune
all of that time seems wasted, all of it seems wrong
lost in world of correspondence where the bold and italics have gone

and there will be no comeback for the things of which you’re accused
you do it all by proxy and the truth is just fake news
you never gave your minions cause to believe a word you say
but with a sock puppet by proxy they’ll believe you anyway

let’s do it all by proxy
so we never have to take the hit
we can help them fight each other
so the masters of the world can take control of it

so when your nemesis gets a new missile
it’s pretty certain that they got the plans from you
and you can sit back and watch the cash roll in
from the lease on trident ii

you do it all by proxy
