Genocide in Primetime

Check your local listings
Gotta set your DVR
Can't miss the premiere
Of syndicated civil war
Broadcast on every channel
See which angle serves you best
Gather round your family
Eat tv dinners with a side of death

In every new tragedy
There's profit to be made
Death means business in the USA

Black vs blue and the streets run red
Til the road washes out ahead
So we tune in for the live stream
Together we drown the American Dream
Shot by shot captured frame by frame
Get shitty prizes when you play shitty games
Clicks and ratings replace humankind
And we watch the genocide in primetime

In every new tragedy
There's profit to be made
Death means business in the USA

You're first on the scene, last to help
Viewers born from a glimpse of hell
Projecting opposing distorted views
In pursuit of securing ad revenue
One man's red is another man's green
When every traffic stop is a murder scene
Only 1 percent of lives matter
But next up is sports then on to weather

Turn on, tune in, watch that stranger
Turn on, tune in, kill your neighbor
Turn on, tune in, there's fear to sell
Turn on, tune in, kill yourself
