great speech by Brazil's DA Silva. I love c-span because the coverage lets you simply watch the speeches, while all of the cable news networks talk over the speeches.

    I agree, c-span is a great channel. it doesnt care about profits or pushing an agenda for a certain party.

    step up and forfeit your frontal lobe
    to the sexed up strobe of celebrity
    never mind that the nanoseconds in between
    are some of the darkest darkness you've ever seen

    keep your eye on my finger
    and listen to the sound of my voice
    get your subliminal decree and your false security
    be all that you can be
    be all that you can be

    in hospitals and schools
    airports and banks and bars
    big ones on street corners
    little ones driving by in cars
    glowing through countless
    bedroom curtains at night
    that 20k tone
    and that pale light
    saying
    daddy knows best
    yes, this is the news
    in 90-second segments
    officially produced
    and aired again and again and again
    by the little black and white pawns
    of the network yes men
    while the stars are going out
    and the stripes are getting bent

    cancer, the great teacher
    has been opening schools
    downstream from every factory
    still, everywhere fools
    are squinting into microscopes
    researching cells
    trying to figure out a way
    we can all live in hell
    well
    step back
    look up
    you'll see i'm dimming the sun
    but you won't, will you?
    no, that's a good little one

    cuz daddy knows best
    yes, this is the news
    in 90-second segments
    officially produced
    and aired again and again and again
    by the little black and white pawns
    of the network yes men
    while the stars are going out
    and the stripes are getting bent

    the stars are going out
    and the stripes are getting bent
    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
