Tragic Vision
In this faltering nation the future belongs
To the children in school, there's something wrong
Sixth grader on crack, handgun overflowing in his hands
Now he is just further demand
We search for the source
And still that child is left watching
Inhumanity, bloodshed
As the tele-violence feeds his head
Only if he knew
The consequence of greed
A conscious state of mind T.V. is not reality
State of reality, state of mind
Never a victim the role model said
Bang bang, the bad guy is dead
Always a rockstar on eMpty T.V.
The lesson complete
Now the child has needs
Of competition they bleed
Oh beautiful for bills of green
Nevermind spacious skies overhead
Bleed the earth and butter your bread
Only if he knew
The consequence of greed
A conscious state of mind T.V. is not reality T.V. is not reality T.V. is not reality
Child turns on T.V.
What does he see?
Nature of man, dishonesty
That child grows old
Story be told
As he sits behind bars
And his soul grows cold
Only if he knew
The consequence of greed
A conscious state of mind T.V. is not reality T.V. is not reality T.V. is not reality State of mind
To the children in school, there's something wrong
Sixth grader on crack, handgun overflowing in his hands
Now he is just further demand
We search for the source
And still that child is left watching
Inhumanity, bloodshed
As the tele-violence feeds his head
Only if he knew
The consequence of greed
A conscious state of mind T.V. is not reality
State of reality, state of mind
Never a victim the role model said
Bang bang, the bad guy is dead
Always a rockstar on eMpty T.V.
The lesson complete
Now the child has needs
Of competition they bleed
Oh beautiful for bills of green
Nevermind spacious skies overhead
Bleed the earth and butter your bread
Only if he knew
The consequence of greed
A conscious state of mind T.V. is not reality T.V. is not reality T.V. is not reality
Child turns on T.V.
What does he see?
Nature of man, dishonesty
That child grows old
Story be told
As he sits behind bars
And his soul grows cold
Only if he knew
The consequence of greed
A conscious state of mind T.V. is not reality T.V. is not reality T.V. is not reality State of mind
