Desensitized
On the TV the movies and video games
There's only one thing that's always the same
Beat em up shoot em up kill em all
Violence is nothing new to our world
Children are not taught to value life
They're desensitized by the violence around them
Children's shows and cartoons teach only one thing
If you don't like someone: kill kill kill
There's hand guns in our homes, and violence in our streets
(That's why the children are killing each other)
They're raised by the TV and video games
(That's why the children are killing each other)
They're left home alone, with no supervision
(That's why the children are killing each other)
They're taught to suppress their hatred and their anger
(That's why the children are killing each other)
Every single day on the 10 o'clock news
Someone is being convicted of murder
When Tom and Jerry are caught in a feud
Their only answer is to blow up each other
Dad teaches his son to be a real man
"Son, let's go hunting and kill all the animals"
So for his birthday and Christmas, what does Johnny want?
The new G.I. Joe and a black water pistol...
There's only one thing that's always the same
Beat em up shoot em up kill em all
Violence is nothing new to our world
Children are not taught to value life
They're desensitized by the violence around them
Children's shows and cartoons teach only one thing
If you don't like someone: kill kill kill
There's hand guns in our homes, and violence in our streets
(That's why the children are killing each other)
They're raised by the TV and video games
(That's why the children are killing each other)
They're left home alone, with no supervision
(That's why the children are killing each other)
They're taught to suppress their hatred and their anger
(That's why the children are killing each other)
Every single day on the 10 o'clock news
Someone is being convicted of murder
When Tom and Jerry are caught in a feud
Their only answer is to blow up each other
Dad teaches his son to be a real man
"Son, let's go hunting and kill all the animals"
So for his birthday and Christmas, what does Johnny want?
The new G.I. Joe and a black water pistol...
