Kansas - Fair Exchange Lyrics

Artist: Kansas

Album: Miscellaneous

Genre: Rock

  • Songwriters: Kerry Livgren

Your credit is good if you're a member
Just a token to help the people remember
All we've done for you, nobody buys and nobody sells
Nobody speaks 'til the chairman tells you
We're gonna be your religion, throw those others away

Fair exchange for your freedom
Fair exchange for your life
Hail the new perfect order
Ending trouble and strife
No one can refuse our offer, it's a fair exchange

You're on file, our computer, knows what's best for you
We will provide the solution, for the rest of you
Safety and peace, the terror will cease
Forget everything the fanatics tell you
Now you can worship the leader, all he wants, is your soul

Fair exchange for your freedom
Fair exchange for your life
Hail the new perfect order
Ending trouble and strife
No one can refuse our offer, it's a fair exchange

We're under control, never worry, always watching you
Now you're a part of the program, we'll be using you
What do you want? We know what you need
Get out of line, we eliminate you
All for the good of the people, better one man should die

Fair exchange for your freedom
Fair exchange for your life
Hail the new perfect order
Ending trouble and strife
No one can refuse our offer, it's a fair exchange

    I think he is talking about making a deal with the devil, "the Fair Exchange" for a freedom in life for everything that is forbiden by religion.
