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.
