lyrics

Story's been the same, same for way too long
Just amplified in your face, and it's always on
Push the plan, program; who cares if it's wrong?
Their agenda's getting paid for playing you like a song

Wake up - wake up
Day in, day out, it takes a heavy toll
Wake up - wake up
Their only goal is complete control

A passive casualty distracted by the screen
Just pain and hurt and misery
The only guarantee, another travesty
It's a twenty-four-hour catastrophe

Pumping tragedy into our brains
Make you think everyone else is to blame
News cycle on repeat
Keep you glued to the edge of your seat

Wake up - wake up
Day in, day out, it takes a heavy toll
Wake up - wake up
Their only goal is complete control

Well, can't you see? In This country,
They don't give a fuck about you or me
Better ratings equal more money
It's a twenty-four-hour catastrophe

Never needed any permission
Twist our minds into submission
Numb the way we mourn and grieve
Thirty seconds blasts, not a chance to breathe

Wake up - wake up
You've been hardwired for way too long
Wake up - wake up
Their only goal is complete control

Tearing down your mind from the inside on out
Demolition of your senses, those that you can do without
Just a little by little and a little more each and every day
Got you feeling lousy watching TV ruining your day
Phony smiles at the station - misinformation
Selling lies to divide this nation
