We cling to progress, tear out the abscess Claw at the walls that shield us from our desires They’re in the business of crushing unrest Clutching their billy clubs and cowering behind their tazers We’re onto their game, we’ve got their number Refuse to let hope sift through clutching hands They sell you product, they make you need it We’re fed collective thoughts through rationed media On the radio, transmission Purse your lips against the fear until you can’t speak anymore On the radio, division Stay home and nurse your fears until you can’t think anymore We lurk in corners, just out of your field of vision Marginalization, alienation keeps us quiet We’re solitary, but numerous yet It’s just deception till we dare pull our heads from the sand We’re onto their game, we’ve got their number See them marching with a rifle in their hands Intimidate you, they’ll infiltrate you Orders to obey broadcast daily far and wide On the radio, transmission Spouting half-truths and deception till you can’t think anymore On the radio!!! They purchase power, eject reporters Claim they’re unbiased but they’re rotten to the core They’re just a shadow, a lifeless husk of A sacred duty, desecrated more and more They’re out of touch with the general public They squash our voices with their pundits and their idols And mesmerized still, we sit immobile We while the hours away, a morphine drip to kill the pain On the television spouting lies lies lies Seizing all our airways, spouting lies lies lies Capitalistic jargon selling waste to buy Gorged on meaninglessness? Aren’t you satisfied? On the radio! (pause instrumental) We’ll sell you war! (Boeing-Veritas-Halliburton) We’ll sell convenience! We’ll tell you! They justify it for the good of profit Below the surface, their hearts are calloused They spew division while promising vision Obscure the ones behind the veil making decisions On the television sprouting lies lies lies Crafty politicians spouting lies lies lies Wowing you with blandness, leave you hypnotized Seizing all our airways spouting lies lies lies On the radio On the radio On the radio! On the radio, division Polished rhetorical persuasion till you can’t see anymore On the radio!!! © 2009 eveghost
