They - Finally Woken

Credit where it's due to Jem for simplifying the questions we should all be asking and putting them into a rather pleasant little ditty for the kids so they can have a little fun and figure things out for themselves while the adults argue amongst themselves about a plethora of non-issues.

A few choice words from 'They', a single taken from Jem's Finally Woken album:
Who made up all the rules?
We follow them like fools
Believe them to be true
Don't care to think them through

And it's ironic too
Cos what we tend to do
Is act on what they say
And then it is that way

I'm sorry, so sorry
I'm sorry it's like this
I'm sorry, so sorry
I'm sorry we do this

Do you see what I see?
Why do we live like this?
Is it because it's true
That ignorance is bliss?

Who are they?
Where are they?
How can they
Possibly know all this?

Who are they?
Where are they?
How can they
Possibly know all this?

Thankfully, some of us have come a fair way since the days of burning the records of those whose messages we didn't approve.

Not much further to go now...
