Lyrics for Normalisation

Faced with a decision What do I call bullshit? A contemporary dilemma Can I allow this? Normalization, what am I thinking? Immunization, power conditioning Nothing is normal Manipulated into believing I'm exercising skepticism Honesty is everything Normalization, processed reality Immunization of what goes on Lately I've been curious, wondering Do I pass the Turing test? Do I think? I'm not sure I wanna know (better safe) Can I accept this? (better safe than sorry) Normalization, collective witnessing Immunization of human sympathy Normalization, prefab experience Immunization, perceived autonomy
