Coded Languages Lyrics - Coded Languages: Live At Hammersmith Odeon November 1982 - Hawkwind

Investigate the meaning of your sentence 

What is it telling you? 

Where does it begin and where does it end? 

Question the nature of your orders 

Question the nature of your orders 

Question the nature of your orders 

What do they want from you? 

A rendezvous upon the sound 

The cars rev up the word goes round 

The words are weapons of their will 

Their words can hurt 

Their words can kill 

A burning phrase can burn a town 

A syllable can bring you down 

Their languages are coded 

Your image is eroded 

Listen to the sound you heard 

Learn to fight against their word 

Vocabularies of death 

Destruction in their breath 

They use the lie 

They use the myth 

Seek only to confuse 

And liberty abuse 

The lies they tell are pretty 

And blow up another city 

They steal away your freedom 

And your love 

Their sentimental calling signs 

Are calculatingly designed 

To rob you of your mind and time 

And still you listen to 

The lulling drone of reassuring voices 

Tunes to take away your choices 

Make you slaves to fancy words and phrases 

Until you're pushing up the daisies 

They steal away your freedom 

and your love
