Just like in "The Wizard of Oz", the "man beind the curtain" pulls the strings and runs the show in politics and big business. Target selected; then dead-headed like a flower. We are manipulated. We are kept out in the dark.

Artist picture
Primarily electronic music - ambient electronic, new age, electronic classical and Electronic Jazz Fusion. An auditory sound sculpture, a sensory emotional
Cross electronica with Alan Parsons, a bit of Depeche Mode and Dead Can Dance - stir well with jazz influences and classical music and you get my electronic music. Ken Linder has written hundreds of compositions in many different styles (pop, alternative, ambient electronic, new age, gothic, gothic industrial, folk, classical, electronic classical and Jazz) over the years. This is a small sampling of his instrumental work. He is equally at home with an acoustic guitar as he is with a synthesizer and an electronic studio. "In my instrumental music I work toward creating an auditory sound sculpture, a sensory emotional journey that conjures up images in the minds and sensations of the listener."

Story behind the song
The world of politics and of big business is about marketing, about selling people an image, not providing a reality. Politicians are groomed and controled by their "handlers", and business act without any ethics at all - mostly for power and money. Behind it all are the power brokers, the people behind the curtain who control it all.
Lyrics
Verse 1 Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. he's pulling all the strings and it's his words that you hear. Pay no attention. If you look then it is certain. You wont like what it brings, when you understand and fear. Verse 2 Silk suits of mammon, line the corridors of power The deals are cruel deeds, done in boardrooms cold and stark. Target selected; then dead-headed like a flower. We are manipulated. We are kept out in the dark. Chorus Things are not what they would seem. sheeple walking in a dream. They pretend that things are fine. Drunk on propaganda's wine. Verse 3 Don't be distressed by all the suffering you are seeing. It isn't really real. Close your eyes it won't be there. It's entertainment. Watch the news and see them fleeing. Just swallow all our lies, turn to ice and do not care. Chorus Things are not what they would seem. sheeple walking in a dream. They pretend that things are fine. Drunk on propaganda's wine. Verse 1 Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. he's pulling all the strings and it's his words that you hear. Pay no attention. If you look then it is certain. You wont like what it brings, when you understand and fear. Copyright (c) 2004 by Ken Linder. All Rights Reserved.
