Media Madness Lyrics

Media Madness

I roll out of bed try to clear my head

Try to shake off these nightmare blues

What's left to say when there's too much said

And that media train rolls through

It's like a one track, sneak attack

Got that monkey on my back

I need my next fix of the news

And it's left right day and night

Pushing us to join the fight

They just keep on twisting the screws

I've heard it said that our souls are fed

By the god given right to choose

I think instead that true choice is dead

When our minds have been so abused

By this non stop feedback

This never ending paperback novel

Just to keep us amused

With the headlines

Propping up the bottom line

Making sure they win

While the rest of us lose

You can quote me when I say

There must be a better way

I'm so tired of this media madness

Ripping the world in two

Don't wanna drown in a sea of sadness

Watching wave after wave crash through

I'm so tired of this media madness

Why should we be subject to

All the blame and the shame

Of this trumped up game

While their ratings go through the roof

Won't someone please tell me

How did we get sucked into

This subliminal digital world

That has captured our view

It's like a plastic peep-show

And we just cannot look away

From this virtual train wreck

Repeating itself day by day

You can quote me when I say

There must be a better way

I'm so tired of this media madness

Ripping the world in two

Don't wanna drown in a sea of sadness

Watching wave after wave crash through

I'm so tired of this media madness

Why should we be subject to

All the blame and the shame

Of this trumped up game

While their ratings go through the roof
