Story Behind the Song
This song documents Brainclaw's growing suspicion and dislike of broadcast media and the role that it plays in hypnotizing our society. Brainclaw hasn't watched tv in over two years. Kill your tv. Wake up. Be free. Television lies. It instills two things in viewers: FEAR and THE NEED TO CONSUME. Rip it out, pull the plug. Take your power back!
Lyrics
Bodies, corpses. Vacant eyes are staring.
Dummies, robots. Drooling serotonin.
Feeding, sucking. Nursing from the Wire.
Wreckage, package. Everything you do is preset!
Buy it, eat it. Conspicuous consumption.
Ritual, habitual. Taking what you're given.
Deny, defend. Do you have a point of view?
Taken, forsaken. Libraries are burning!
Wake it up, turn it off, take your power back.
Rip it out, pull the plug, take your power back!
This is us, who are you? Take your power back.
Do you stand or do you fall? Take your power back!
Logic, toxic. Numbing not becoming.
Hidden agenda. Character distortion.
Web, spider. Wrapped up in the back room.
Hurting, loving. Alien to living!
Kissing, missing. Buy a newer model.
Sexy, helpless. Take out your aggression.
Biting, infected. Spreading all your poison.
Bleeding, needing. Scratching at the sores!
Wake it up, turn it off, take your power back.
Rip it out, pull the plug, take your power back!
This is us, who are you? Take your power back.
Do you stand or do you fall? Take your power back!
Wake it up, turn it off. Take your power back.
Rip it out, pull the plug. Take your power back!
This is us, who are you? Take your power back.
Do you stand or do you fall? Take your power back!
