Story Behind the Song
This song serves as a warning to all those people out their that take television news (CNN in particular) as the un-bias truth. Often times, people forget that television's only function is to sell product's and advertising space. Fear and Consumption.
Lyrics
Turn up and tune in, this just in…..
We tune in to figure out, what today was all about
But what they say just half the truth, their entertaining me and you
I know it’s tough to see the lies, they hide it well in their disguise
You can't believe their puppet mouths,
the worlds outside your door go see yourself
Afraid the world will blow my mind, but they say we’re O.K.
And CNN will make me blind, but they say we’re O.K.
We sit and watch events unfold, from the comforts of our homes
They tell us confrontation far, but problems start from where we are
Sponsors turn to plant a seed, they sell us shit we’ll never need
From when we’re born until we die they bleed our brains and pockets dry
Afraid the world will blow my mind, but they say we’re O.K.
And CNN will make me blind, but they say we’re O.K.
The truth is we’re not, you all know we’re not
Oh, this just in, this just in
Oh, this just in yeah this just in
This just in, this is the news today
4 murders, 3 fires and a 2-hour chase on the freeway
Looking for satisfaction, make your purchase on E-bay
Can't you see through these lies, they do all of this to keep us in line.....
They keep us in line, just keep us in line
Sit and watch events unfold, from the comforts of our homes
They tell us confrontation far, but problems start from where we are
Afraid the world will blow my mind, but they say we’re O.K.
And CNN will make me blind, but they say we’re O.K.
And CNN will make me blind, but they say we’re O.K.
Afraid the world will blow my mind, but they say we’re O.K.
Afraid the world will blow my mind, but they say we’re O.K.
