Manipulated Reality Lyrics

NETWORK COMMANDS GUIDING ALL OF MY THOUGHTS-MY WILL-MY NEEDS
LOCKED INSIDE THIS WORLD, I CANNOT EVEN MOVE BEFORE THE TV

I CAN'T STOP WATCHING ALL THIS TRASH
FOR THIS I LIVE-WITHOUT THIS I DIE

ANOTHER SLAVE IS CAPTURED BY THE SCREEN
IN EACH COMMERCIAL APPEAL THAT'S ON TV SHOWED
BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET OUT OF ALL THIS
MY WHOLE LIFE IS CONTROLLED BY THIS OLD MACHINE.

CHORUS

THEY SAY HOW I MUST DRESS
THEY SAY HOW I MUST SEE AND THINK
JUST LIKE A SERF YOU HAVE BEEN LIVING
IT IS A SHELTER FOR COWARDICE AND FEAR
INDUCED BY YOUR ILLUSIONS I DO WHATEVER YOU PLEASE-I NEED IT
JUST CAUSE YOU HAVE YOUR THOUGHTS AND YOUR
HANDS TIED BY THE FAKE REALITY YOU SEE AND READ

I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY IT'S REALLY GOING ON
MY WEAKNESS AND MY INDIFFERENCE CAN'T BE OVERCOME

I'VE BEEN FOOLED BY THE NEWS
CONTROVERTED, EMPTY NEWS

A TELEVISION SLAUGHTER I'VE BEEN SUFFERING
WHAT I'VE BEEN HEARING AND SEEING IS NOT REAL
I CAN'T SWALLOW ANYMORE OF THESE CRUEL LIES
BUT I CAN'T TURN MY WORDS INTO ATTITUDES.
