Civil Paranoia Lyrics

We are so paranoid, we’ve become the victims of our own
fear
Rationality is subordinate, when tuned in to the
“evils” out there
O’ do you react to what they send?
TV depicts society like a war zone – ready to engulf
us!
Feeding us an unscrupulous set of lies
Information corresponds to socially accepted
stereotypes
Generalizations, preconceptions, news that lacks depth
We consume others tragedies to feel better about
ourselves
Omnipresent political correctness – objectivity dead
Simplified news-reports persuade the dimmest of heads
So when freedom is at stake – our docility makes sure
that we don’t care
Just as long as we get what we crave!
Truth beyond sensation – subscribe to the pretense?
The will to entertain exceeds what really counts…
Swayed public opinion and directed sympathies Ignorance flourishing due to critical inadequacy
TV the instrument that keeps us in check
Our attentions diverted by the government
We’re slaves to the f*cking trends!
Curiously poised by the menace of criminals and bin
Ladens
This paranoia is shifting society
Becoming a nation of hyper-patriotic vigilantes
What cuts me up – I swallow the hollow lies they feed
me
Enclosed by invisible fiends, media nurtures the fears
inside me
Bored?
At least it keeps me glued to the tube in anticipation
of the next ferocious crime – comfortably pacified
within they walls of my home
Tap into the horrors of the outside world
Information suited for mass digestion
Everyone viewing the same channels
Leave out what demands personal reflection
