Propaganda

10/01/2006 >> Listen(mp3)

You can't blame yourself
'Cause it isn't your fault
They got into your head
Cause its built like a vault
Its hard to get out
What you've put inside
And planting their seeds
Was the easiest thing they tried

Propaganda at the center of our lives
Pumping twenty-four seven
Television is
Where it thrives
Buy a bigger house
Another diamond ring
Get the kids a set of braces
Body augmentation, its the thing

Underwire bra
With a pair of breasts
If you call in fifteen minutes
Pay with Mastercard, it's the best
Pop another pill
Have another drink
The cost of self-fullfillment
Is a fraction of what you'd think

We'll Find it
Some day
Our bags are packed
We just need to be led that way

We'll find it
Some day
Our mind's made up
But we're easily led astray

Politicians poll and pander
Its a party on the hill
Feeling morally more justified
With every kid they kill
Under "National Security"
There's nothing they can lose
If they make a brand new market
For our hundred-dollar shoes

Pack another plant
Move it overseas
We can widen profit margins
Just expend a few Chinese
Pay them fifty cents an hour
For eleven hour days
They'll barely know the children
That they can't afford to raise

Make a small improvement
Put it on the shelves
Sell it as a giant leap for man
And market it with elves
Drop 400 billion dollars
Down the Holiday well
"Magic Meaning For Your Empty Life!"
The next big thing they'll sell

We'll Find it
Some day
Our bags are packed
We just need to be led that way

We'll find it
Some day
Our mind's made up
But we're easily led astray

Eat a giant tossed salad
With the dressing you deserve
And buy a glass of water
It's restraint you must conserve
Then sue the Golden Arches
for the fat you have retained
And buy a bigger better meal
With the settlement obtained

Big Money!
Big money on the brain
That Lifestyle show
Is driving you insane
Cash that welfare check
Buy lotto tickets at the till
Who cares about the simple life,
You could win a hundred Mil!

Ninety-nine
You made it to the end
Sitting on a million dollars
That you didn't get to spend
Around you in this moment
Many family members mill
Familiar faces wonder
What you left them in your will

We'll Find it
Some day
Our bags are packed
We just need to be led that way

We'll find it
Some day
Our mind's made up
But we're easily led astray
