I read some tabloid news today and I filled my head with the words they have to say
Again and again and again and again and again and again and again
And I watched some daytime TV and I filled my mind with the images they want us to see
Again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again
Oh, I listended to some radio to day and I filled my mind with the music that they play
Again and again and again and again and again and again and again
And I surfed the World Wide Web today and I filled my head with the messsages they send
Again and again and again and again and again and again and again
Yes I hear you when you say there are no side effects
You are just feeding your daughter and paying the rent
Yet maybe you don’t notice as you’ve done your work and left
Well wash your hands how ever many times but the problems won’t just go away
And yes I know you thought I was out to attack you
When I was just asking a question to the person I know best
For I err away from judgement and instead observe at best
All of our problems and their many side effects
All of our problems and their many side effects
Too much life now seems like an eternal problem
Externally fought but stemming from within
So many false judgements outside of us
Permeating each and every one of us
And so many turn a blind eye and let news fall on death ears
Turn the other cheek and sleep, denying our dreams yet never quite awake
Oh are we ever going to stand up and put an end to all this shit
Or are we to just continue perpetuating this same old nonsense?
Or are we to just continue perpetrating this same old nonsense
First you say you love me then you say don’t
You used to say you get me but now you say, ‘Piss off’
We used to laugh together
But now we’re so far apart
And you used to help me with my work
But no longer care to support
Yet still I wonder how you are and I hope you’re doing OK
Because whatever’s been and gone my friend, you’ll always be special to me
yes, whatever’s been and gone my friend, you’ll always be special to me
We’re surrounded by so much confusion, blurred boundaries, systems gone wrong
So many false judgements and blinded observations
We’re being led to inaccurate conclusions and expected to just carry on
But I don’t know how much longer I can keep this up, I now so want to move on
Alas we’re still stuck fast in a twisted past
Holding onto bygones, grudges and pointless competitions
Striving towards backwards superlatives and refusing to just get along
Well, wherever we are in this game of play
I’ll up my mark by stepping down and learn to give up
Yes, I’ll up my mark by stepping down and learn to give up
For yes I am a rebel artist, I take risks, lay my soul out to see,
But nobody’s really watching as we’re all too busy watching T.V.
And reading bull-shit media repeating the same shit day after day
And not really thinking about what’;s being left out or how else there is to be
Sometimes I want to run away or just disappear but it is not that easy for me to get out of here
For I have so many friends and family and I love Life and all that there’s to be
But the insanity of the media and mass conformity
Leaves me levitating somewhere between Cloud Nine and the Gates of Hell
Leaves me levitating somewhere between Cloud Nine and the Gates of Hell
Leaves me levitating somewhere between Cloud Nine and the Gates of Hell
