Who Prospers Lyrics

It's this sort of entertainment that makes me feel like
throwing up
Like a chronic disease in it's final stage this crap is
turning from bad to worse
Extremes are normal when normality's so extreme
But could it be it's not quite what it seems?

Tell me who prospers...
When we televise to stupify and supersize our ignorance

Can we as viewers not see that we're being kept
indulgent and inept??
By strangling the intellect they tighten the leash and
quench the thirst for knowledge

Like a cancer eating away on our collective
consciousness
A chronic disease in its final stage this crap is turning from bad to worse
Extremes are normal when normality's so extreme
But could it be it's not quite what it seems?

Tell me who prospers...
When we televise to stupify and supersize our ignorance

Can we as viewers not see that we're being kept
indulgent and inept??
By strangling the intellect they tighten the leash and
quench the thirst for knowledge

In a glow of enthusiasm the public at large keeps warm
by the radiance of the television
A blank stare...filling life with purpose...
Numbing entertainment, mass hypnosis, to comfort and
sedate and pacify the masses
