500 Channels
500 channels of a day-dream stimulation
Helps me to resent my life and raise my expectations.
Locked into
re-runs, your memories repeating,
And all your ideals seem so self defeating.
For you and yours, the pepsi generation,
And when
you're discontent, you change the T.V. station,
And when you hate your life, no qualtities redeeming,
A million brainwashed zombies
will always be heard screaming...
And when there is no hope,
"I'll smoke some crack, I'll shoot some dope!"
When theres no
enemies,
"I sit and stare at my T.V.
And in my ignorance,
I'll be a slave and sycophant!"
And in a perfect world devoid of
all temptations,
The good leftover crizack could unite the nations.
But now the war machines are mapping our destructions
With
poisons over flowing in the chemical seductions.
And when there is no hope,
"I'll smoke some crack, I'll shoot some
dope!"
When theres no enemies,
"I sit and stare at my T.V.
And in my ignorance,
I'll be a slave and sycophant!"
With my
credit and my bank,
My mind will draw a blank.
I'll block out history,
And stare at my T.V.
For me there is no way.
500
channels waste my life away, away...
