| We cling to progress, tear out the abscess
|
| Claw at the walls that shield us from our desires
|
| They’re in the business of crushing unrest
|
| Clutching their billy clubs and cowering behind their tazers
|
| We’re onto their game, we’ve got their number
|
| Refuse to let hope sift through clutching hands
|
| They sell you product, they make you need it
|
| We’re fed collective thoughts through rationed media
|
| On the radio, transmission
|
| Purse your lips against the fear until you can’t speak anymore
|
| On the radio, division
|
| Stay home and nurse your fears until you can’t think anymore
|
| We lurk in corners, just out of your field of vision
|
| Marginalization, alienation keeps us quiet
|
| We’re solitary, but numerous yet
|
| It’s just deception till we dare pull our heads from the sand
|
| We’re onto their game, we’ve got their number
|
| See them marching with a rifle in their hands
|
| Intimidate you, they’ll infiltrate you
|
| Orders to obey broadcast daily far and wide
|
| On the radio, transmission
|
| Spouting half-truths and deception till you can’t think anymore
|
| On the radio!!!
|
| They purchase power, eject reporters
|
| Claim they’re unbiased but they’re rotten to the core
|
| They’re just a shadow, a lifeless husk of
|
| A sacred duty, desecrated they disgust me more and more
|
| They’re out of touch with the general public
|
| They squash our voices with their pundits and their idols
|
| And mesmerized still, we sit immobile
|
| We while the hours away, a morphine drip to kill the pain
|
| On the television spouting lies lies lies
|
| Seizing all our airways, spouting lies lies lies
|
| Capitalistic jargon selling waste to buy
|
| Gorged on meaninglessness? |
| Aren’t you satisfied?
|
| On the radio!
|
| We’ll sell you war! |
| (Boeing-Veritas-Halliburton)
|
| We’ll sell convenience!
|
| We’ll tell you!
|
| They justify it for the good of profit
|
| Below the surface, their hearts are calloused
|
| They spew division while promising vision
|
| Obscure the ones behind the veil making decisions
|
| On the television sprouting lies lies lies
|
| Crafty politicians spouting lies lies lies
|
| Wowing you with blandness, leave you hypnotized
|
| Seizing all our airways spouting lies lies lies
|
| On the radio
|
| On the radio
|
| On the radio!
|
| On the radio, division
|
| Polished rhetorical persuasion till you can’t see anymore
|
| On the radio!!! |
