	Story Behind the Song Have you ever heard of a man named Wilhelm Reich? Well, he came up with the theory that emotional repression fueled fascism and the authoritarian/totalitarian society. We hide behind character armor everyday; it constantly seems we're outwardly lying and inwardly crying. We place more faith in economic activity than in ourselves and each other as human beings. Lyrics We build walls of oppression With emotional blocks Our consent fuels the System And our paradox The more we're passive The stronger our character We carry daily misery Lying to ourselves and each other CHORUS Character assassination Means total release Through total revolution The union of life and theory I feel my body armor I feel the tension in my stomach I feel alone in crowds I feel a wreck Amd when I try to open up You hide behind character All my passion and compassion You throw in the gutter CHORUS You believe in the economy But you don't believe in you and me Neither dead nor alive Only the maimed and tamed survive CHORUS
