"THE USEFUL IDIOTS" is about the mass manipulation of the masses...

lyrics

You knock at the door
You're making a show
You're thinking of me
I don't want to know
You throw me a line
I'm taken with you
You're shaking my hand

We are the useful things
We never look too deep
You mould our feet of clay
Make us walk your way

"They come over here like parasites
Stealing our girls, taking our jobs
And breaking the law, so what do we do?
Remember the war"

We are the useful things
We never look too deep
You mould our feet of clay
Come election day

We're useful, we're idiots
The unknown is hideous
We're stand-off and diffident
We don't like things different

We're there to be utilised
With feelings so volatile
We breed insecurity
We all need an enemy
