	Story Behind the Song I wrote Mental Pollution when I was feeling alone and angry. I wanted to lash out at the media and the people who bombard us with images of what we should need, look like, and be. All these illusions were saying to me "You know you want it" and I was saying "Don't tell me what I want." I then began to ask myself "What DO I really want?" The only why to hear oneself is to be still and listen. I wish that some people wouldn't waste time on the small-minded things... talk shows, gossip, meaningless words filling up magazines, newspapers, films, television programs, etc. To me, it might as well be a disease... a spiritual one anyway. Lyrics Well I can't blame the rain for all of my pain and I can't blame the clouds and I can't blame the sky or be jealous of the birds that fly does anybody hear me does anybody hear me because I don't because I lost my hearing long ago from the media bombs going off in my living room lies on the tv lies in the movies lies on the billboards nobody tells the truth I'm going deaf does anybody hear me does anybody hear because I don't I'm tired of all the violence we've lost lives enough and I'm tired of all the nudity so much sex without love and I'm tired of all the smokers blowing smoke in my face and the same old boring models decorating every fashion page I don't trust the politicians or the movie ratings board and I'm tired of fighting all these inner and outer wars I've got bullets in my head I've got blood in my ears and the world could drown from the truth that's in my tears does anybody hear me does anybody hear because I don't because I. . .
