Lyrics
I didn't wanna write this, I thought that I had stopped writing period
And finally got serious, I'm not a lyricist
I just had to write this to survive
'Cause shit I see every day was starting to eat me inside
On the news, everybody's screaming out of control
While Fox pushes Botox into reality shows
And I just sit on the couch thinking how did we go
From hunting for our own food to companies without souls
Controlling everything we see? This ain't no conspiracy theory
This shit is real, yo, it's everywhere, please hear me
Let's exercise a little critical thought
'Cause I don't think most people realize half the shit that gets taught
Look at the swan, and look at what it teaches our kids:
"You're not a model, but that's nothing this procedure can't fix"
It's kind of scary, but people do believe in this shit
And find it worth spending time on, and even in print
We get the same messages and the same goals, look at the news
It's just reality TV with a suit
It's the same entertainment, to get the same ratings
To attract the advertisers so they get the same payment
It's all calculated carefully and thoughtfully
But we don't wanna see that, we wanna see what's on the screen
They just show us what we wanna see
The more I think about that fact, the more that fact is haunting me
BREAK
I wish this was a conspiracy, or somebody's plan
'Cause if it was, we'd have a lot less blood on our hands
But as it is, it's just supply and demand
And there's no demand for truth as society stands
How did we get so apathetic, paranoid, bored and pathetic
That we bought into the SARS epidemic?
We just dance to the flickering light
And hope the entertainment takes our minds off miserable lives
So we watch doctors cutting ugly people with knives
And though it's sick, there's a million people eager to try
They think there's something wrong with them, believing the lies
For big boobs and botox these kids are risking their lives
That shit is twisted, these people have a hellish existence
Instead of helping them out, we put them on television?
What's the obsession, I don't get it, man, I never have got it
So people watch these shows and I just do my best not to vomit
And I don't watch the news because they're all a bunch of puppets
Who all make a lot of noise but ain't really saying nothing
Despite endless dumb pundits having endless discussions
They argue for the sake of argument and nothing comes from it
Turn on your TV, this shit ain't just in a song
60 channels, 24 hours, always it's on
I think it's pretty fucking clear that something is wrong
We need to try to fix this before our country is gone
