Hog Hoggidy Hog - Opium for the Masses

---

I am finally making a point of getting all our Hog music on the blockchain. This track is from our 2008 album Method to the Madness, and it holds a very special place in my heart.

For George

Lyrics

Built on bones of the masses, the shiny tower above
Everyone knows that all the roads to freedom are paved with blood keep them down, keep them down, keep them around
Them numbers are your source of might
To educate is to liberate and when they learn they will stand up and fight

No way!
It’s time to stand and fight choose how we wanna live our life
No way!
They keep them down to keep around I wanna hear the trumpet sound

Propaganda singing, and the praises drown the cries
They’ll find a way to spin it and still profit off the lies
Big man big man keep them around them push you up and stand you tall you know a big man is only bigger because someone else exists that’s small

No way!
It’s time to stand and fight choose how we wanna live our life
No way!
They keep them down to keep around I wanna hear the trumpet sound

One day will be different, someday just a thought,
Finally an idea that can’t be packaged and bought
Well someday’s gonna happen there’s a new hope on the rise yes someday soon we’re gonna see the day
When the masses dem a gon rise up and say

No way!
Will we take it now it’s time to stand and fight
No way!
Should our lives be tailored for your wrong and right
No way!
We just want knowledge and you can keep your power
No way!
Coz once we know the truth there won’t be any tower
No way no way no way no way
No keeping down no keeping down for keeping them around
No way no way no way no way
No keeping down no keeping down I wanna hear that trumpet sound.
