Story Behind the Song
When television makes your descisions for you, you are not a free person. there has never been a better time than now.
Lyrics
Curling up into what turns out to be an almost open state, where TV evangelists, big city teachers, and young attorneys bid on what I think. Tried to stay free of this pop penitentary, it still manipulates me. Make shift news broadcasting is not-so-broad-casting.. Tolerate. Tolerate. Tolerated? Our efforts will go unheard. Our exposure, unlimited. We're approaching 7am, no escape from constant viewing. This controller controls me. I am a marionette.. not a real boy. Strings pulled by CNN help me take my standings. Our knowledge will go unbroadened. We're approaching 7am, no escape from constant viewing. We sit silent, they'll speak for us. What was once a pastime is now a process. Fall into habit, or fall out of the loop. We're obsessed with merchandise and this man is funny. But think for yourself, or you're a red. I have my freedom and I have my facts straight. The papers told me so. all my friends and me all agree on everything. why can't we see under noses grown so big? cant stop breathing sex and scandal. where's the conflict we're involved in? freeze that frame!
