Ideology

To the tune of “Personality”

Over and over

I tried to make sense to you.

Over and over,

What more can I do?

Over and over,

But you can’t take the truth.

‘Cause you’ve got ideology.

Think (with ideology)

Talk (with ideology)

Joke (with ideology)

Smirk (with ideology)

Vote (with ideology)

Taking orders from the media.

So over (over and over)

And over (over and over),

You’ll do what they want you to.

Now over (over and over)

And over (over and over),

What more can I do?

Over and over

I try to make you see.

Over and over, baby,

Nothing but the truth.

Over and over,

But you still play the fool,

And over and over,

With your own crowd you’re cool.

‘Cause you’ve got ideology.

Think (with ideology)

Talk (with ideology)

Joke (with ideology)

Smirk (with ideology)

Vote (with ideology)

Taking orders from the media.

So over (over and over)

And over (over and over),

You’ll do what they want you to.

Now over (over and over)

And over (over and over),

What more can I do?
