Every single day I watch the dead parade
The TV's on like opium
Superstars are raging
Stupid, loud and highly engaging
There goes the gravy train
The day changes, a million faces line up
To star in this over rated dream
Or so it seems
This is not real, will not last, does not feel
Like the touch of a glorious life
This is the worst kind of wasted
'Cause now you're standing here
Wondering why you sold yourself
More frequently I'm scared by what I see
The media beautifies, calculates and lies
The mindless becomes free
Flies in the face of someone else's misery
Laughs at the insanity
The TV's on like opium
Superstars are raging
Stupid, loud and highly engaging
There goes the gravy train
The day changes, a million faces line up
To star in this over rated dream
Or so it seems
This is not real, will not last, does not feel
Like the touch of a glorious life
This is the worst kind of wasted
'Cause now you're standing here
Wondering why you sold yourself
More frequently I'm scared by what I see
The media beautifies, calculates and lies
The mindless becomes free
Flies in the face of someone else's misery
Laughs at the insanity
