[edit] Trivia/Info

  • TMBG: "A song about the seductive appeal of social order (as opposed to individual freedom), and an expression of the terrifying and exciting power of propaganda." - museumofidiots.com
  • The lyrics are virtually the same as the album version (albeit with an extra chorus and no 'bongs'), but just has Linnell singing - the 'bells' and all music are electronic. Only the last chorus is Linnell singing the 'bells'.

Addiction, Compulsion, Children, Forgetting, Remembering, Heads, Mind Control / Hypnotism, Music, No
