A video for “Live In Fear” off of the The Hope Conspiracy‘s first new album in close to two decades, “Tools Of Oppression / Rule By Deception“, has newly made its way to the internet. A video for that song is available below, with vocalist Kevin Baker stating of the track:
“Americans are the most propagandized population on the planet and have no idea that they are. The latest horrors are broadcast between commercials for pharmaceuticals and fast food. The issues that divide us get amplified through the media to keep us all on edge and loathing one another while the corporate masters literally strip mine the middle class for all its worth.
Non objective voices push just the right buttons on both sides to distract and keep our eyes off of what’s really going on. The last thing the establishment would want is a well-educated and united population holding them accountable for their war crimes and genocides. We are told what to think. We are told what to say and we are told what to do. Stay in line and live in fear.”
