Who Prospers?
It's this sort of entertainment that makes me feel like throwing up
Like a chronic disease in it's final stage this crap is turning from bad to worse
Extremes are normal when normality's so extreme
But could it be it's not quite what it seems?
Tell me who prospers...
When we televise to stupify and supersize our ignorance
Can we as viewers not see that we're being kept indulgent and inept??
By strangling the intellect they tighten the leash and quench the thirst for knowledge
Like a cancer eating away on our collective consciousness
A chronic disease in its final stage this crap is turning from bad to worse
Extremes are normal when normality's so extreme
But could it be it's not quite what it seems?
Tell me who prospers...
When we televise to stupify and supersize our ignorance
Can we as viewers not see that we're being kept indulgent and inept??
By strangling the intellect they tighten the leash and quench the thirst for knowledge
In a glow of enthusiasm the public at large keeps warm by the radiance of the television
A blank stare...filling life with purpose...
Numbing entertainment, mass hypnosis, to comfort and sedate and pacify the masses
