Based on Finland 1975
Pihasoittajat — Old Man Fiddle
We were short on time
When we met this charming gent
We bet a dime
He came to make us spend
We nearly left, yet he convinced us
Our funds weren’t what he meant
He just fiddled while he spoke
The text he’d penned
[Fiddler starts foisting loads of toxic beliefs
on them to, well, *fiddle* with their minds]
First reaction wasn’t too great
His ideas looked like glaring bait
He’d cite all kinds of junk on fate
But we slowly got onboard
Felt inspired by faithful hordes
And Fiddler’s anthem struck a chord
So here’s our news: just had
This profound epiphany
Wondering why it’s safe to trust this guy?
Well, his forebears slid
The sage’s creed to him
He’s just conveying many aeons’ advice
[The prospects enter a loop of false promises]
He’ll name us both in future songs
If our faith’s firm and we commit
Serve in such devout commune
He shall grant us his esteem
When we’re both active on the scheme
And enlist the most recruits
Our peers are true good pals
Rest are clowns, our enemies
Wondering why we press all passers-by?
Well, our deity
Just wants all efforts in
Millions of preys would never really suffice
[The flooding of lies and myths continues, but the prospects
suddenly stop listening to try and think for themselves]
Did we let go of our reins?
Are we twits Fiddler would confound?
We need to find some sense on this
In fact, these doubts were just unbased
This new life here is what’s correct
Our saviour’s awesome, got our bliss
From here we’ll do just fine
With our chosen family
Wondering why we’ve let our blood ties die?
Well, our parents did
Suggest deprogramming
We’re bugged that they behave like we’re a device
[Final rush of wild delusions
until the brainwash is complete]
