lyrics

On the air, tuning into, channel zero
Electronic dopamine, in the marrow
Willing victims synching in,
Swallowing the vacant waves of platitudes that feed on our fears

Talking heads, spewing deceit, for the masses
Echo chambers postulate, a world in ashes
Corporate interests in control
Pimping facts with fantasy a rhapsody seducing our ears

Hear... full of sound and fury
(I’m the idiot box that you turn to)
Feel... the lowest blow
(I’m the kick that you crave as much as breathing)
See... wrinkles in the story
(Showing you just what I want you to see)
Be... someone who knows
(Just surrender and I’ll take care of… everything)

In this life, a sucker is born, every minute
We choose to embrace this shit, let’s wallow in it
Yield our minds and lose our wills
Knuckle under, fall asleep and march like sheep right off the cliff

Truth... silenced in the night
Facts... biased left and right
When we only heed the words that rhyme
We’ll be dumb and blind, trapped in a concept of our own design
Worthless pawns

On the air, tuning into, channel zero
Electronic dopamine, in the marrow
Willing victims synching in, (1)
Swallowing the vacant waves of platitudes that feed on our fears (1)

Talking heads, spewing deceit, for the masses (1) (2)
Echo chambers postulate, a world in ashes (1) (2)
Corporate interests in control (1) (2)
Pimping facts with fantasy a rhapsody seducing our ears (1) (2)

On the air, tuning into, channel zero (1) (2) (3)
On the air, tuning into, channel zero (1) (2) (3)

(1) Keep it this time, keep it in time, keep it in mind, keeping this mind, keep it out of harm

(2) Being right means being hated, truth and freedom overrated

(3) Bleary eyed insomniac, gets to do a lot of thinking
