The Idiot Box

Staring forward with vacant eyes Imagination cannot survive Misinformation and compromise These televised, conditioned lies Create a system of belief Heartless purveyors of deceit Seems clear to me You've never known me Doubt everything You've ever shown me Images flash by in waves What to buy and what you'll save? All the products that you ever craved You've become another slave Create a system of belief Heartless purveyors of deceit Seems clear to me You've never known me Doubt everything You've ever shown me All the lies that you told I will not be bought or sold I won't fit into your mold I will not be bought or sold Rise and break away from the system Rise and crush the voices in your head Rise All the lies that you told I will not be bought or sold I will not fit into your mold I shall not be bought or sold I want back what you stole from me
