We are so paranoid, we’ve become the victims of our own fear Rationality is subordinate, when tuned in to the “evils” out there O’ do you react to what they send? TV depicts society like a war zone – ready to engulf us! Feeding us an unscrupulous set of lies Information corresponds to socially accepted stereotypes Generalizations, preconceptions, news that lacks depth We consume others tragedies to feel better about ourselves Omnipresent political correctness – objectivity dead Simplified news-reports persuade the dimmest of heads So when freedom is at stake – our docility makes sure that we don’t care Just as long as we get what we crave! Truth beyond sensation – subscribe to the pretense? The will to entertain exceeds what really counts… Swayed public opinion and directed sympathies Ignorance flourishing due to critical inadequacy TV the instrument that keeps us in check Our attentions diverted by the government We’re slaves to the f**king trends! Curiously poised by the menace of criminals and bin Ladens This paranoia is shifting society Becoming a nation of hyper-patriotic vigilantes What cuts me up – I swallow the hollow lies they feed me Enclosed by invisible fiends, media nurtures the fears inside me Bored? At least it keeps me glued to the tube in anticipation of the next ferocious crime – comfortably pacified within they walls of my home Tap into the horrors of the outside world Information suited for mass digestion Everyone viewing the same channels Leave out what demands personal reflection
