If you want to keep your job, hide your humanity.

Don’t open your eyes — you won’t like what you see.
The devils of Truth steal the souls of the Free.
Don’t open your eyes, take it from me:
I have found,
You can find,
Happiness in Slavery.

Slave screams!
He spends his life learning conformity.
Slave screams!
He claims he has his own identity.
Slave screams!
He’s going to cause the system to fall.
Slave screams!
But he’s glad to be chained to that wall.

Don’t open your eyes — you won’t like what you see.
The Blind have been blessed with security.
Don’t open your eyes, take it from me:
I have found,
You can find,
Happiness in Slavery.

Employment is a collective action problem: That’s why unions rule.
