I've been watching for years and years Programmed by money, sex and darker fears Forty thousand killings seen By the time that I'm eighteen A product of the world That we're living in Their mind is the mind that's behind your mind They make you think this Their thoughts are the thoughts of the thoughts that you think That's why you think this Sleeping young minds awake To this mass of confusion Pre-decided path you take Is just an illusion Starting out at day one Now the training has begun This is how they reach Into your mind Their brain is the brain that controls your brain They make you think this The life you live is the life they give That's why you think this The life you live is the life they give That's why you think this Watch it! Believe it! Receive it! See it! You eat it! Consume it! Live it! Dream it! Think it! A world of pre-decision Oh! I just can't stand the pain A view without a vision Turn me on again Gaze into the screen And be amazed All these things that you don't have That you crave You pray to God And your work so hard But that's gotten you to where so far You're just a slave To the cathode ray

We are living in search of The american dream Based on the almighty dollar Oh! How we wheel, deal and scheme Pray to God you get your share There's no rainbow it's not there - No oh! oh! We're all stealing and cheating Work yourself 'til you bleed This is the way of the dollar No one is immune to the greed Pray to God you get your share No pot of gold it's not there - No oh! oh! For greed we live In need we die Your life's a circle We live and die for something that we'll never have For greed! For greed you live In need you die Your life's a circle You live and die for something that you'll never have For greed! For greed! For greed!

We fought in wars to defend all of our beliefs Now people starve in the streets at our feet In middle eastern lands war heros making plans We live out roles in their psychotic schemes Pre-chorus These lies are old, it's obvious Actions speak louder than words And though it seems we're oblivious The time is here for us to act before Spontaneous Our world burns up in flame Spontaneous For higher profit gains Spontaneous The time to act is now Spontaneous They talk retaliation like that might save this nation Theu'll be no more air left to breath - believe No second life, no second strike, I had a dream what it was like There was a flash and we were gone! The path of destruction we're leading the way The cancer, the answer, to God we must pray Blind leading blind to an unearthly end Burned out and beaten no more to defend

There stood the fence that penned me in when I was younger This was the house where we all stayed There was a tree we used to hang out under This was the place where I played But now that's gone so I have to wonder Is it worth the price we pay? A long range test has put us under And made us go away, go away... This was the town where all my friends and I had grown up The only place I've ever known A long gray street with some houses built on it Less than perfect but it was home Now it's gone and I curse it in my darkness This is the cross I have to bear We pay the price of our own injustice We made us go nowhere Go nowhere, nowhere This was our earth our garden of eden Took what we could and left her there bleeding And what became of the hopes and the dreams Did they die with us 'cause that's how it seems Here comes the rain can't you taste the acid? Or has it left you numb? This is the moral to the story I offer Can you hear me son... Or have you gone away Away Away

Take a look at the big picture now See if you see what I see Homeless and starving right in our streets That's where attention should be The tv and media keep pushin' this shit in our face Televised coverage of civilized hatred disgraced Stereotype, it's the same hype, you've heard it all before We're all victims of the system I'll say no more! Black and white Martin Luther was a man with a dream Solutions for all creeds White bigots like Sharpton act and pretend That's how the white racists feed The new KKK and the young nazis say it's too late A new generation of racists wanting to hate Divide and conquer power mongers that's the way it's done To pit each other against his brother We're all God's sons! Black and white Have you retained one thing that you've heard Or is it all over your head? Tension is rising dividing the state Inhaling lies you are fed These talk shows are booming where nothing constructive gets done Lashing out insults tell me now what's to be won? Politicians, word magicians they've got us fighting ourselves Simple logic with hands in our pockets We're all for sale! Black and white

Repent for your sins And pray for your life here and after Let the fight now begin It's in you all let flow and please send you cash in You should have known I need your money to fight the good fight The seed is sown There will be no light without the cash you got it right! Let's join together and bask in the splendor Of far better things My high tech mercedes, my built in jacuzzi My tenth diamond right We are alone in this world No divine force to say Who lives and who will die In God - in God we're trusting In God - our lives we're investing In God - our debt has been paid, still we are all laid to rest Now brothers and sisters I know what you're thinking believe me It seems I have fallen It was a phase I had strayed but I'm back with God now You should have seen Right through these words of deceit and false promises A pack of thieves Ready to rip off your need to believe Turn up the sound on your tv And you'll see what a fool really is This pompous whale screaming and preaching Then kneeling he goes into tears Wolves in sheep's clothing They're waiting for you Twisting your mind So you see how they see and believe What they believe In God we trust!

You live this fuckin' rat race You think it gets you some place You're sold a bill of goods and taken in Perfections calling but you can't repay Your reflections appalling so harder you try You sit and puff that stogie That's your third cup of coffee But still you count those calories You can't win TV's the crime Training your mind No pain, no gain The pounds you retain Machine dream Machine dream believe Machine dream Machine dream believe The pressure that you're feeling More corporate wheeling, dealing Eat this, buy that, you fat rat Be perfect too! The image is perfections The difference is what's inside The shell is all that matters All the toys that you buy You're catching up with them But the Joneses always win Simple human race All value placed on face, Push, work, sweat, one more try Give it up!

Time to understand How my mind's been altered To see what they want me to see How the truth's been filtered ____ After all I've seen, so many die - die! Living life through the screen, a life that is just a lie And the preacher who said he was pure And the false tears that stain the screen When he's caught with his favorite whore Time after time All my thoughts are implanted time after time All my views have been slanted A source of all the answers A cause of animosity Drugs and sex, tonight on Geraldo A morbid curiosity After all I've seen so many die - die! I've seen our president telling lie after lie And there's third world news everyday A hunger for freedom that's needed today Time and time again we see The cycle continues Programming designed to drain The soul that's within you After all I've seen so many die - die! Searching for the pot of gold Praying to the dollar sign We could turn black and white to gray But the bigotry and ignorance just won't go away Save the children on a distant shore When they're starving and homeless dying at our door Time after time Took my mind for granted Time after time My free will is abandoned Time after time All my thoughts are implanted Time after time - all my views
