Hypocritical Masses Corporations rise and we all pay the price The time has come to take what's yours, what's theirs, what's mine But we're all down and out, staring at the stars Will we ever see the light before we die Monkey see, monkey do Have to be like you Those we cannot fool Monkey bribe, monkey sue Have to be like you Our golden age is done. We're barely holding on We wanted all, we took too much and now it's all but gone Decadence is bliss, has rules with golden fist. Men in suits invent the lies that hide the truth Monkey see, monkey do Have to be like you Those we cannot fool Monkey bribe, monkey sue Have to be like you Tear down their walls, before the end calls The least we can do is go down together Tear down their thrones, before the end comes The least we can do is go down together Tear down their walls, before the end calls The least we can do is go down together Tear down their thrones, before the end comes The least we can do is go down together

Passion Aggression We always need to find someone to hate Some distant threat that's out to seal our fate Muslim's, commies, blacks or gays Doesn't matter all the same Screw us over any day We just want someone to blame Stop thinking for yourself Just follow someone else Please tell us what to say and do Send in the troops! In constant fear of something we create We are provoked so we retaliate Ego's, oil, to whom we pray Different reason everyday In the end it's all the same Don't expect the world to change Stop thinking for yourself Just follow someone else Please tell us what to say and do Send in the troops! If this our answer Our only solution We don't deserve any better Than this useless illusion Of safety and freedom Our mind is the bullet Our fear is the trigger Our ignorance pulls it

Get With The Program Guide Watching plastic dreams on silver screens We're never satisfied The program guide dictates our lives Keeps us preoccupied Entire generations blinded by the light But I can see a candle burning If only I could start a fire I could make you see They're wasting our time We will reclaim the airwaves of the world And learn to live our own lives We will reclaim the airwaves of the world And start to live our own lives We will reclaim the airwaves of the world And learn to live our own lives We will reclaim the airwaves of the world And start to live our own lives Entire generations blinded by the light But I can see a candle burning If only I could start a fire I could make you see They're wasting our time

Let's Not (And Say We Did) Hey man, how you doing? Can you believe the mess we're in? The shit has hit the fan We're fucked and we know it Still no-one seems to want to change Their fucked-up little ways Hey man, do you really Believe you have the answers? Put your money where your mouth is And lead the way Let's... Not... And say we did Let's... Not... And say we did You cannot start a revolution from your couch Get up, get out, breath in and fucking shout Your voices will ignite a discontent that rages Through livingrooms at night Prepare to fight! Fight! Let's not and say we did Let's not and say we did Let's not and say we did Let's not and say we did

Because You're Worth It No Job, no education Just fit for exploitation Always on probation You rise to the occasion I deserve to have it all TV says I need it all So you're just gonna take it! Blegh!

Lights Out In Wonderland As silence fills the room A revelation looms Your brain is working overtime To redifine your views So gather all the proof And redesign your truth Then call it an epiphany It's time to start anew The skies are empty No-one's watching over you Do you realize what this means? You are truly free Let's break the rules that bend Take life in our own hands This backwards era has to end Lights out in wonderland Why pray on our knees To gods we do not need Let's take a hint from history The time has come to see The skies are empty No-one's watching over you Do you realize what this means? You are truly free Ashes to ashes, dust to dust Cradle to grave is flawed by default Life is found, life is lost Nothing's eternal, not even God There's no fucking point, There is no reward No pot of gold at the end of the road Just the end of the road The end of the road No pot of gold at the end of the road Nothing's eternal, not even God There's no fucking point, There is no reward Just the end of the road

The Minority Netherlands

‘We will reclaim the airwaves of the world’

This line sums up what THE MINORITY stands for. We are creating the music we love, and singing about issues we talk about over drinks late at night or over coffee in the morning. We try not to be that silent majority we all loathe.

With (ex-)members from: 1000 Miles Ahead, Progress, The Retreat, Ten Threats and The Indoor Park.
