lyrics

Cause sad stories sell
theres a market for tragety
and rags make riches with good publicity

our culture buys in sells out
markets brands of identity
sells us myths through the media
sells us stories as commodities
the media pays big bucks for ballin eyes
entertains with realities games
an ambrosia for the voyer
sugar pills sugar coated in fame

we steal the pain of others
to get morally high
we make victims then wonder
how the worlds gone so awry

we pat ourselves on the back
for being informed on our armchairs
in a society of the spectical
we sit blankly and stare

we watch the world spin
on planet earth
we watch the pulse of life grow
before its birth

as vultures circle the capital
of images framed in dollar signs
pictures perfect in flawed reflections
to get instantly gratified
big brothers getting bigger and globalized
with his imperial gaze
as 1st worlds continue to colonize
coating minds in hedgemonic glaze

our futures on fast forward
and lives flash before our eyes
we watch our own disorders
in the others guise.
