Media Mindfuck

one at a time and they fall into line

fall enslaved to a box slowly drained of a mind

and the touch of a dial brings the sale of corruption

to a nation of people frightened into consumption

it more than escapes me how we can't escape

what was only a mind fuck's turning into a rape

an imagined potential for suffering and pain

led to preying on fears for a financial gain

now we're safe cause we're locked up

un-invaded, isolated

but we're trapped cause we fucked up

used by news that we felated

tell me why

did we put this trust in the sale of entertainment?

and why

are we frightened by these ghost stories they've painted?

we're not

have they got you scared of your own shadow?

has this media hysteria poisoned your mind?

did they take your freedom? or did you take your own?

has implanted paranoia taken you for a ride

have they sent you hiding under a rock

that could crush you just as easy as a terrorist plot?

did they take your freedom or did you take your own?

are possessions a concern when you're robbed of your thought?

switch off the box

turn on your mind
