Lyrics
On television is a well-mannered man sending a beckoning call out
To assemble the troops and let him handle the fallout
His route would no doubt see the pit of destruction
Covered in controversy and hushed up discussions
Partial instructions facilitate his conquests
With infinite new additions and limited prospects
For safety, survival
Eyes of the world see an economic enemy
But they ain't speaking title
Radio dials used to be tuned into music
Now it's rape and it's violence, ASIO files
Tidal wave miseducating the youth to see 'em lay suicidal
In this age of denial, what?
It's a hard line the media follow
Not much food for thought but it's easy to swallow
Stand by for commercial freedom even if hollow
Don't sleep, just take a seat, deepen your sorrow
Don't sleep, just take a seat, deepen your sorrow
Thanks for tuning in this week, see you tomorrow
On television a similar program but the man's face has changed
Tailor-made suits are dutifully replaced
By military fatigues and a strong disposition
Watch with bated breath while he states his position
Morale is being lifted
It looks as though the balance of power could be shifting
So we can keep living and keep listening
To the messages we've been given
Well aware somehow that really nothing feels different
Channel flip and let the scene skip a touch
Just to absorb in your anger and pretend like we give a fuck
Listen up, as you're handed a story
A brave handsome warrior, phantasmagoria shit
It's a hard line the media follow
Not much food for thought but it's easy to swallow
Stand by for commercial freedom even if hollow
Don't sleep, just take a seat, deepen your sorrow
Don't sleep, just take a seat, deepen your sorrow
Thanks for tuning in this week, see you tomorrow
On television is a eulogy
Delivered compassionately and beautifully
Expressive and stern like he meant every word
And the depth of his deception is yet to be heard
But when the dead have returned, oh the lessons we learn
Receive word of a democratically elected head of state
Red letter day marks setting the record straight
Celebrating the changing face of a nation
Sedition laws keep the population sedated
Televised bad dreams on plasma screens
As action teams topple a fascist regime
And in place of this dictatorship, which name is it?
Civilians continue to live dangerous
Grieve for the fallen and mourn the loss of honesty
International wars and foreign policy
All for the cause of more stock commodity
We pop corks, eat popcorn and watch atrocities
It's a hard line the media follow
Not much food for thought but it's easy to swallow
Stand by for commercial freedom even if hollow
Don't sleep, just take a seat, deepen your sorrow
Don't sleep, just take a seat, deepen your sorrow
Thanks for tuning in this week, see you tomorrow
