Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Television
Controls what we see
And the programs
Are false realities
[Verse 2]
The truth that them hide from the light
Is hidden in our plain sight
No, no, no
Now massive weapons of distraction every day
Is it a natural reaction
To just look away?
[Verse 3]
Useless breeders, feeders and eaters
Is all they think of we, oh
Poisonous food supply
From your unholy seeds
[Verse 4]
Prescription
Only leads to addiction
They steal I attention
With the worst intentions
[Verse 5]
Now massive weapons of distraction every day
Is it a natural reaction?
Now massive weapons of distraction every day
Is it a natural reaction
To just look away?
[Verse 6]
Are you smarter than your foe
Or are you just all alone?
No, no, no
Modern technology
Take away knowledge from me
Spoiled to the core
By the fruit of the serpent tree
Always sellin' a score
Make sure there's tax and more
[Verse 7]
Now massive weapons of distraction every day
Is it a natural reaction?
Now massive weapons of distraction every day
Is it a natural reaction?
To just look away?
