Ever feel like someone’s trying to pull the wool over your eyes? Enter Shikari's song dives deep into themes of manipulation and control. The "voice of God" represents authoritative figures or institutions that demand blind obedience, threatening dire consequences if you don’t comply. The repeated demands for "documentation" highlight a society obsessed with validation and conformity. The term "hoodwinker" calls out deceitful leaders who exploit faith and fear to maintain power. By mentioning various gods and burning books, the lyrics criticize religious dogma and censorship, portraying them as tools for mental captivity. Ultimately, it’s a rallying cry against those who swindle our souls by restricting freedom and truth.
Hoodwinker
Lyrics
This is the voice of God
You've got it, you've got it
Stay in and lock your doors
I don't care what you've achieved
There's only one location if you don't follow me
(You always get what you wanted)
You're gonna burn in a blistering furnace
From now until forever, no matter how it ends
(You always get what you wanted)
Halt, freeze, who goes there?
Do you have the right, do you have the right documentation?
Stop, wait, this ain't right
This is fraudulent, this is counterfeit, you're a hoodwinker, sir
This is the voice of God
The shrinkwrapper of minds
Stay in, lock your doors
Halt, freeze, who goes there?
Do you have the right, do you have the right documentation?
Halt, freeze, who goes there?
Do you have the right, do you have the right documentation?
Stop, wait, this ain't right
This is fraudulent, this is counterfeit, you're a hoodwinker, sir
I don't care if you're devout
To the three thousand
Other gods
I'm the ace that breaks the spade
Hostile to liberty
Burning books
It's mental captivity
It's a swindle for your soul
It's a swindle for your soul
It's a swindle for your soul (you always get what you wanted)
For your soul
It's a swindle for your soul
It's a swindle for your soul
It's a swindle for your soul (you always get what you wanted)
For your soul
Halt, freeze, who goes there?
Do you have the right, do you have the right documentation?
Stop, wait, this ain't right
This is fraudulent, this is counterfeit, you're a hoodwinker, sir
You are a hoodwinker, sir
What do you take me for, a fool?
Cheeky fucker
