65 : 6/14/98 : Political Song

A logic that cuts both ways
I see the youth of today
sinking further into the stupor
of television fueled consumerism

This is our inheritance
as masters of the world
This is the inheritance
of the sons and daughters
of this brave nation

To peer into the magic screen
That only ever says one thing

Oh what you gonna
buy today
kid what you gonna
buy today
what you gonna make them
make you buy today
or are you
one of those
people they’re slowly
turning grey

So many people that they’re slowly
turning grey

Who are they
do we need them
can we not
master ourselves
can we not hold them at bay

What will you pay
your rest
your joy
your time
your peace
your fair share
of this
earthly feast
your health
your love
your friends
your voice
the real
power of
your choice

Raise up your hands
