Prince — Colonized Mind
[Spoken Intro]
I wanna talk about it
A colonized mind
[Verse 1]
Upload: the evolution principle
See a rock on the shore and say
"It's always been there"
Download: no responsibility
Do what you want, nobody cares
Upload: the master race idea
Genetically disposed to rule the world
Download: a future full of isolated
Full of isolated boys and girls
Upload: a two-party system
The lesser of two dangers, illusion of choice
Download: a veiled form of fascism
Nothing really ever changes
You never had a voice
[Ad lib]
Listen to me one time
[Chorus]
If you look, you’re sure going to find
Throughout mankind's history
A colonized mind
The one in power makes law
Under which the colonized fall
But without God
It's just the blind leading the blind
[Verse 2]
Upload: a joint venture record deal
It's just another way for the man to steal
While he's sticking you with the bill
Download: the temporary acquisition
Of fleeting fame and fortune
Nothing to leave in your will, hey hey hey hey
[Guitar solo]
Wait a minute
Upload: a child with no father
Download: no respect for authority
Upload: a child with no mother
Download: a hard time showing love
[Chorus]
If you look, you’re sure going to find
Through mankind's history
A colonized mind
The one in power makes laws
Under which the colonized fall
But without God
It's just the blind leading the blind
