under remote control

By denver nitze

what are we doing?
we're under control
we only know as much
as they'll show
they try to hide it
paint and disguise it
do what they can
to hide the truth from
anybody... that watches t.v.
is just a victim of delusion

don't we know...there is more to this?
are we so blind...that we can't see it?
anymore.

trapped in illusion
lit with confusion
let them delude us
with television
they're lyin to us
and we believe them
we let them fill us
with their nonsense
just take it in
just turn your head
just let they lie
the best they can

don't we know...there is more to this?
are we so blind...that we can't see it?
anymore.

did you think...it would be that easy?
crowd control is just too mainstream
keep them scared...hold the delusion
they'll keep comin...they'll keep consuming
turn off your televisions
get off your fuckin couch!!

trapped in illusion
lit with confusion
let them delude us
with television
the amber light glows
it lights our faces
we can escape it
don't let it chase ya
just turn it off
just turn away
don't let them win
its all in your head

and don't we know...there is more to this?
are we so fuckin blind...that we won't see it?
don't we know...there is more to this?
are we so blind...we can't see it?

anymore?

    I'm sorry... what did you say? I was distracted by the "babble-box" in the corner. AMAZING WRITE, if only people could see. It's why I refer to t.v. as "babble-on". ;)

    a different feel from you... not sure the music to go with this but i know you'd do a great job with that voice of yours... a lot of mind pricking and thought churning to be had in this....
