Story behind the song
'Mr. Bureaucracy' is aimed towards any corporate or political establishment designed to keep society dumb, confused and poor. While the riffs are fast and grungy the melody and lyrics almost seem sarcastic. The line "Mr. Bureaucracy can you control the air I breathe" opens the track to a sudden burst of energy. The chorus refrains of "Freedom of choice not good for me" ring through to an old school grunge sounding riff that takes the song in a somewhat different direction yet repeats itself as the song ends. 'Mr. Bureaucracy' is the first single from the new Paradox album 'Corporate Pollution'. While the track potrays a much bigger picture than any previous Paradox endeavour the band still maintain their Alternative Rock sound remeniscent of the 90's.
Lyrics
Mr. Bureaucracy can you control the air I breathe A broken democracy you won't control my sanity Mr. Bureaucracy can you control my privacy A state of security you can't control my mind it's free I'm broken down by what I need freedom of choice not good for me My stomach hurts your hungry greed can't put me down I'm on my knees Mr. Bureaucracy can you control my destiny The clothes I wear the food I eat the lies I'm told my self esteem Mr. Hypocrisy can you destroy my hopes and dreams A blindfold monopoly you can't destroy my mind it's free I'm broken down by what I need freedom of choice not good for me My stomach hurts your hungry greed can't push me down I'm on my knees It's better to stay down don't have to think for yourself It's better to play dumb don't have to prove yourself There's never a way out you gotta work for your debt It's better to break out you gotta free yourself The government won't leave me alone, I'm tired and spent I'm tired and old The government won't leave me alone, I'm tired and spent just leave me alone Leave me alone I'm all jaded intimidated, My colour's faded I'm liberated Make me sad, make me beg, contents read, weighed and fed, I'm half dead drained and bled It won't be long.. ? Pete Mac/Mike Mac/Paradox 2010
