I've been watching for years and years 

Programmed by money, sex and darker fears 

Forty thousand killings seen 

By the time that I'm eighteen 

A product of the world 

That we're living in 



Their mind is the mind that's behind your mind 

They make you think this 

Their thoughts are the thoughts of the thoughts that you think 

That's why you think this 



Sleeping young minds awake 

To this mass of confusion 

Pre-decided path you take 

Is just an illusion 

Starting out at day one 

Now the training has begun 

This is how they reach 

Into your mind 



Their brain is the brain that controls your brain 

They make you think this 

The life you live is the life they give 

That's why you think this 

The life you live is the life they give 

That's why you think this 



Watch it! Believe it! Receive it! 

See it! You eat it! Consume it! 

Live it! Dream it! Think it! 



Gaze into the screen 

And be amazed 

All these things that you don't have 

That you crave 

You pray to God 

And your work so hard 

But that's gotten you to where so far 

You're just a slave 

To the cathode ray
