Who Prospers?
It's the sort of entertainment
Makes me feel like throwing up
Like a chronic disease in its final stage
This crap is turning from bad to worse
(Bad to worse, bad to worse)
Extremes are normal when normality's so extreme
Could it be it's not quite what it seems?
Tell me who prospers
Televise (televise) to stupify (stupify)
And supersize our ignorance
Can we as viewers not see that we're being kept
Indulgent and inept?
By strangling the intellect
By strangling the intellect
They tighten the leash and quench the thirst for knowledge
Like a cancer eating away on our collective consciousness
A chronic disease in its final stage
This crap is turning from bad to worse
(Bad to worse, bad to worse)
Extremes are normal when normality's so extreme
Could it be it's not quite what it seems?
Tell me who prospers
Televise (televise) to stupify(stupify)
And supersize our ignorance
We as viewers not see that we're being kept
Indulgent and inept?
By strangling the intellect
By strangling the intellect
They tighten the leash and quench the thirst for knowledge
In a glow of enthusiasm the public at large
Keeps warm by the radiance of the television
A blank stare, filling life with purpose
Numbing entertainment, mass hypnosis
To comfort and sedate and pacify the masses
To comfort and sedate and pacify the masses
Televise (televise, televise) stupify (stupify, stupify)
Supersize our ignorance
Televise (televise, televise), stupify (stupify, stupify)
Supersize our ignorance
We as viewers not see that we're being kept
Indulgent and inept?
Makes me feel like throwing up
Like a chronic disease in its final stage
This crap is turning from bad to worse
(Bad to worse, bad to worse)
Extremes are normal when normality's so extreme
Could it be it's not quite what it seems?
Tell me who prospers
Televise (televise) to stupify (stupify)
And supersize our ignorance
Can we as viewers not see that we're being kept
Indulgent and inept?
By strangling the intellect
By strangling the intellect
They tighten the leash and quench the thirst for knowledge
Like a cancer eating away on our collective consciousness
A chronic disease in its final stage
This crap is turning from bad to worse
(Bad to worse, bad to worse)
Extremes are normal when normality's so extreme
Could it be it's not quite what it seems?
Tell me who prospers
Televise (televise) to stupify(stupify)
And supersize our ignorance
We as viewers not see that we're being kept
Indulgent and inept?
By strangling the intellect
By strangling the intellect
They tighten the leash and quench the thirst for knowledge
In a glow of enthusiasm the public at large
Keeps warm by the radiance of the television
A blank stare, filling life with purpose
Numbing entertainment, mass hypnosis
To comfort and sedate and pacify the masses
To comfort and sedate and pacify the masses
Televise (televise, televise) stupify (stupify, stupify)
Supersize our ignorance
Televise (televise, televise), stupify (stupify, stupify)
Supersize our ignorance
We as viewers not see that we're being kept
Indulgent and inept?
