Brainwashed - Paradox

It’s breakfast and the TV’s on

He talks, we listen then we’re gone

School’s out, the children are at home

Turn TV truth and power on

The radio, the reports, the media great and strong

The TV, so powerful, so influental all alone — right and wrong!

We’re told we live in freedom-states

That’s not untrue

To some extent you love your fate

That’s what you should do

We watch TV, believe what’s said

They tell the truth, why use my head?

When did we stop to ask’em why?

Since when we’re falling for their lies?

The TV — a construct of NSA or the damn FBI?

Newspapers in China, Korea, do they lie?

Daredevil dies!

We’re told we live in freedom states

That’s not untrue

To some extent you love your fate

That’s what you should do

Now I think I’ll get paranoid

All, I believed in, seems destroyed

They tell you, what you need, what’s true!

But can’t you see, what’s overdue?

When we phone, they bug us, our data made of glass

The secrets of army and politics should not last

The die is cast!

We’re told we live in freedom states

That’s not untrue

To some extent you love your fate

That’s what you should

But total truth would bring conflicts, heavy loadings

We can believe most of the news

We’re the world’s best truth!
