Song I wrote during the 2008 presidential election about our bizarre American culture |
Join in comrade for the two minutes hate! Tune in citizen to the presidential debate Politician speeches will tell us who to hate Try to forget there is a police state Distract us, distract us from anything that's real Distract us distract us they make the secret deal Who is Lindsey dating? Did Britney cut her hair? What's the latest diet? What shoes should I wear? You say there is a war? I haven't seen one here Hey lets go shop! Then we can drink some beer Distract us distract us our attention is for sale Distract us distract us advertisement's holy grail Tell me what to think, tell me how to feel. Tell me I'll be better if I take that pill. Tell me I'm well adjusted tell me I fit in. Tell me I'm forgiven for every single sin. Tell me what to buy, tell me what to say. Tell me who to be, control me in every way. Distract us distract us please filter all our news Distract us distract us give us something new. Now back to bed with you, don't worry bout a thing Your being watched and you don't even have to think Snuggle down close your eyes and count all the sheeple You'll be asleep again soon just like the other people |
