Media Madness

Media Madness I roll out of bed try to clear my head Try to shake off these nightmare blues What's left to say when there's too much said And that media train rolls through It's like a one track, sneak attack Got that monkey on my back I need my next fix of the news And it's left right day and night Pushing us to join the fight They just keep on twisting the screws I've heard it said that our souls are fed By the god given right to choose I think instead that true choice is dead When our minds have been so abused By this non stop feedback This never ending paperback novel Just to keep us amused With the headlines Propping up the bottom line Making sure they win While the rest of us lose You can quote me when I say There must be a better way I'm so tired of this media madness Ripping the world in two Don't wanna drown in a sea of sadness Watching wave after wave crash through I'm so tired of this media madness Why should we be subject to All the blame and the shame Of this trumped up game While their ratings go through the roof Won't someone please tell me How did we get sucked into This subliminal digital world That has captured our view It's like a plastic peep-show And we just cannot look away From this virtual train wreck Repeating itself day by day You can quote me when I say There must be a better way I'm so tired of this media madness Ripping the world in two Don't wanna drown in a sea of sadness Watching wave after wave crash through I'm so tired of this media madness Why should we be subject to All the blame and the shame Of this trumped up game While their ratings go through the roof
