The weasel-faced market The provocative media Probing, getting the straight facts Exposed, snared Provocative media, showing the pressure Government coverups, they wait in hiding Show the people, don't get sucked in Show the people the corporate scum Show the people, don't get sucked in Show the people the commercialized scum Probing, investigative strikes At weasel-faced scum suckers Drain you dry of your bucks Their day will come Lies, tricks of the trade Ripoffs, of high and low proportion The need for provocative media? Probing, inquiring Asking the unanswerable questions Probing investigative strikes

Deadlock 04:13
Words and actions clouded by self-righteous thought Keep up your defenses, maintain your pride Eager to uphold your strength of conviction Cast aside "friends" when you don't see eye to eye Overwhelmed by bitterness and frustration Hateful words are exchanged Break all lines of communication Confusion gives way to rage Increase your distance, prolong an argument Avoid all criticism by burying the truth Deny a confrontation, heighten the agitation But put on an air of blissful indifference What is your motivation? Do you search for resolution? Or are you just holding your ground, to achieve a stalemate?

Texture, sight and sound attuned to the desires Of and oversexed society in which we live Women's roles will never change while the meat market media Aims for the ultimate sexual release The age of enlightenment is long overdue Maturity will make possible equality An endless assault on willing minds Twisting a natural urge into perversion Tension is increased by macho minded fools Who can't see past their own genitals The outcome is victimization of human beings Considered inferior because of their gender Degradation to make a profit Gain acceptance in the public eye Attack the senses with subliminal violence Causing strain on human relations Put a candy coating on human exploitation Sell it to a public that's eager to buy

No Truth 00:59
The world you see is not real You will find there is no truth Wake up to your surroundings Smash what's false and live in peace

Gratify the senses with materialistic goals Project an image of stability to a world over which you feel superior Deceive yourself, believe you're in control When the world around you crumbles, indignantly shift the blame Fall in line and fit the sterile role predetermined for you Unwilling to perceive this ignorant stance causes your destruction Socialized, stylized, conformed Faceless in a sea of humanity Arrogant and self absorbed, secure within your ignorance Perception distorted by shallow views Victimized by a self created world Socialized, stylized, conformed Deceived, obsolete mentality Deceive yourself, believe you're in control When the world around you crumbles, the responsibility crushes you Do you feel ill-used? Disappointed by your achievements? You look to accuse, staring back is your own reflection
