A song about the fear the media implants in us. Commercials say stuff like you have to buy this or else this will happen, and a lot of times we believe it. Beat by Skwirm Beats.
A rapper from Bowling Green, Kentucky.
Story behind the song
I got the idea when I watched Bowling For Colombine and saw the interview with Marilyn Manson. It's a tight movie, got a lot of philosphy in it.
Lyrics
Turn on the Tv, what do you see?
You see a couple body bags ready for you and me
And the killers, they're among us
So it gives you rush
of fear and paranoia
Look at the people around you, what will they do?
Fill a couple body bags ready for me and you
We live in america, when terrorists were attacking
Our first reaction
Was to buy flags and gas masks
Security was selling like crazy
And then it all became clear
Corporations are just selling you your fear
sell the solution to what your afraid of
We fear that we'll never expierence love
You gotta buy colegate, listerine too
Cause If you have bad breathe chicks won't even talk to you
Media - they telling you your fear
they selling you your fear
CHORUS:
Buy, buy, buy into your fear
You should buy into your fear
You should buy, buy, buy
or else you'll die, die, die
I tried, tried, tried
But I never realized
Until somebody told me
that I was hypnotized
We're all afraid cause we've been watching the news
We heard about murderers and they were people like you
We're all selfconcious cause we've been watch TV
And the pretty people didnt look a thing like you or me
So I buy cause if I don't I won't fit in
Then I watch TV and get fears again
Now not all the problems are because of the media
I just hope to be leadin ya
Into thinking about it, the reason why we're so destructive
Is because we have so much fear in this life we live
there's only thing I fear and that's fear itself
If I can keep my mind clear then I know it will help
CHORUS
