Cock a snoot,
Loop the loop,
Hock the hula-hoop,
But now it yo-yo'd back again
Shiver me timbers,
Just jumped ship with a little faith
We could win the championship
Parachute substitute, problem is it's soooo cute
Workless, cashless, hungry and in debt
Outta house, outta home, outta pocket
They persuade you,
That they made you then betrayed you
And they blame you with the power of persuasion
The power of persuasion
The power of persuasion
The power of persuasion
You bought the troll,
You bought the gonk,
You took it home, and put it on a pedestal
We needed a saviour,
But from its behavior
Why did it have to be so extra-terrestrial?
Tax deductible. Cash corruptible,
Never the less another pool swinner
Penniless dog tooth check,
Cash and carry Find a girl,
Settle down and marry
They persuade you,
That they made you
The proclaim,
And they'll maim you with the power of persuasion
The power of persuasion
The power of persuasion
The power of persuasion
I sold the Eskimo snow
Build the skyline outta playdough
Persuading you that monochrome is day glo
With the power of persuasion

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
