Soapy Cooper - Media lyrics

Media limits our perspective It's like a mental contraceptive So we don't question who's elected But think we are protected Mind control once was voodoo But now it's a simple process Of YouTube, fox, and Hulu They see right through you Because they decide The revolution won't be televised What stories need to be revised Whose minds they must desensitize Whose brains should be circumcised One nation under god Just sit and watch your TV But when it's watching you back Don't come crying to me This system is flawed But it's hard to see Cause when freedoms outlawed Only outlaws are free So, Ladies and Gentlemen Wake up we're living in A scary new millennium Where kids are snorting Ritalin Cause the colleges they're getting in Decides who are the better men Divides us based on melanin And draws a crowd like Wimbledon But no ones proud of simpletons Ignore the wise and wrinkling They're telling lies and sprinkling Sweet fallacies like cinnamon The magazines are written in What clothes you should be fitting in This boat that we are sitting in Slowly it is sinking in Cold facts we'll soon be drinking in Minds pumping with adrenaline Times are harder than cement but Currency laments You shove dollars down your throat Til your sh** makes cents
