Lyrics Civil Paranoia - Black Comedy

Civil Paranoia

We are so paranoid: we’ve become the victims of our own fear
Rationality is subordinate, when turned in to the «evils» out there
O' do you react to what they send?
TV depicts society like a war zone — ready to engulf us!
Feeding us an unscrupulous set of lies
Information correspondsto socially accepted stereotypes
Generalizations, preconceptions, news that lacks depth
We consume others tragedies to feel better about ourselves
Omnipresent political correctness — objectivity dead
Simplified news-reports persuade the dimnest of heads
So when freedom is at stake — our docility makes sure that we don’t care
Just as long as we get what we crave!
Truth beyond sensation — subscribe tot the pretense?
The will to entertain exceeds what really counts…
Swayed public opinion and directed sympathies
Ignorance flourishing due to critical inadequacy
TV the instrument that keeps us in check
Our attentions diverted by the government
We’re slaves to the fucking trends!
Curiously poised by the menace of criminals and bin Ladens
This paranoia is shifting society
Becoming a nation of hyper-patriotic vigilantes
What cuts me up — I swallow the hollow lies they feed me
Enclosed by invisible fiends, media nurtures the fears inside me
Bored?
At least it keeps me glued to the tube in anticipation of the next
Ferocious crime — comfortably pacified within the walls of my home
Tap into the horrors of the outside world
Information suited for mass digestion
Everyone viewing the same channels
Leave out what demands personal reflection
