The Hive Mind
There's nothing much to be said
when it comes to a single mind
There's nothing much to be said
when it comes to group mind
There's nothing much to be said
when it comes to a hive mind
When all that is thought
it nothing important
When all that is thought
is small selfish acts
of oppression and lust
When all that is thought
is nothing but junk
Junk and garbage and rubbish
and nothing of value
pompously spread through
the masses of to make them
go to the brink
of extinction
when it comes
to independent thought
and independent minds
There's nothing to be said
when it comes to a group mind
And there will be nothing to be said
when it comes to the time of the hive mind.
