wrote this after 'yes we can!!!!', like that one this is only a first draft and i'm not too happy w/ it, seems a bit repeatitive but i guess it's ok....

in my mind
none of this seems real
all the time
i can't help this how i feel
that everything i hear
is dumbed down and sugar coated
they made our fear color coded
everything i buy
is another lie

dumb me down
just so i won't care what's real
numb my mind
because i don't want to have to deal
that despite it all
i still feel
everything was planned this way
you obscure my view, but i don't really seem to care
i want my news all about celebrity hair

i just don't want to know
corporate news will keep me safe and warm
tuck me in and comfort me w/ your fairy tales
distort the truth and sugar coat it
market fear then color code it
everything i hear
is another lie

keep in line
if ya know what's good for you
turn off your mind
we'll tell you when you should shout
dance like the puppets we are
real progress is just too hard
to be achieved by me
don't think just accept the message
don't worry about our inactive stasis
everything i read
is just another lie
standin above the crowd
he had a voice that was strong and loud and
i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
eager to identify with
someone above the crowd
someone who seemed to feel the same
someone prepared to lead the way

    i'd like to change the hide in
    hide the truth and sugar coat it

    to 'distort' but there's no edit
