LYRIC: The Media Destroyed My Mind

Wandering aimlessly

Guided by my TV

Confusion peaking as I'm smothered by their soundbites

Don't know what's real or not

Can't construct my own thoughts

Brainwashing from that box I feel dehumanized

Are my own choices mine?

They're fucking with my mind

Newspapers they all lie

What happened to real life?

I don't know my fact from fiction

I'm controlled by television

Know I voted for them

Why'd I do that again?

Good idea at the time is now a living nightmare!

Why did I buy that crap?

I have no need for that!

So much plastic shit and no money left to spare

Get up and work all day

Because I need the pay

Why is that anyway?

I just do as they say

I have got no control of my life

The media destroyed my mind

What is real and what's made up

I know more about celebraties than about myself

Give me back my own mind!

TV, won't you entertain me?

I have got no use for my brain today

There ain't much left of it anyway

Aren't you tired of being their drones

Or do you not even know

They've got us suckered in and I can't wait until the day their media burns!

LYRIC: Progressing Ever Backwards

Screaming-don't you hear it?

Screaming-I can hear it

Begging for sustainability

Climate-going crazy

Wildlife-dying daily

Death-throes of a raped and pillaged world

Green turns to concrete

Clear a wood erect a street

Hear me scream

Profit-before survival

Defeat-business rivals

Anything OK to get on top

Chokin-on their cost-cuts

Burning-from corners cut

Commodifying the environment

Progressing ourselves

Out of a future

Hear me scream

This is the 21st century

Exploited so the richest can achieve

We're so advanced, we've got so much money

We're just lacking everything we need

Progress-supposed to take us 

Forward-I only see us

Racing backwards to our destruction

Once we've -exploited all that

Earth has-on it to give us

Priced it up and put it up for sale

I have just one question for you

Where are you planning to live?

Hear me scream

LYRIC: Retail Therapy

Got no food to feed yourself

Let alone your starving kid

Can't afford your sky-high rent

Downsized you can't afford shit!

Got conditions in urgent need

Of by a doctor being seen

But such notions are just daydreams

You can't afford such luxury

These days nothing goes for free

Except maybe your sanity

Pressure choking killing you

But what the fuck are you going to do?

Feel alone and forgotten

No help around for your problems

Here is some advice for you

Compassion and help are yesterday's news

Sorry

Only one suggestion for you it's all there is I hope it's some use?

Shut up and shop

Shop 'till you drop
