Television, Drug of the Nation

Television, the Drug of the Nation - a song from the Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy (Michael Franti, 1991).

Lyrics:

One nation under God has turned into
one nation under the influence of one drug.

[Chorus:]
Television, the drug of the nation,
breeding ignorance and feeding radiation.
(2x)

TV, its satellite links a United States of unconsciousness. Apathetic, therapeutic and extremely addictive.

The methadone metronome pumping out
150 channels 24 hours a day. You can flip through all of them and still, there's nothing worth watching.

TV is the reason why less than 10% of our nation reads books daily, why most people think Central America means Kansas, socialism means un-American, and apartheid is a new headache remedy.

Absorbed in its world it's so hard to find us. It shapes our mind the most.
Maybe the mother of our nation should remind us that we're sitting too close to the

[Chorus:]
Television, the drug of the Nation,
breeding ignorance and feeding radiation
(2x)

TV, is it the reflector or the director? Does it imitate us or do we imitate it?

Because a child watches 1,500 murders before he's 12 years old, and then we wonder why we've created a Jason generation that learns to laugh
rather than abhor the horror.

TV is the place where armchair generals and quarterbacks can experience first hand the excitement of video warfare, as a theme song is sung in the background.

Sugar sweet sitcoms that leave us with a bad aftertaste, while pop stars metamorphosize into soda pop stars.

You saw the video, you heard the soundtrack. Well, now go buy the soft drink!

Well, the only cola that I support
would be a union C.O.L.A.(Cost Of Living Allowance).

[Chorus:]
On Television, the drug of the Nation,
breeding ignorance and feeding radiation.
(2x)

Back again, "new and improved," we return to our irregularly programmed schedule, hidden cleverly between heavy breasted beer and car commercials.

CNN ESPN ABC BCB TNT, but mostly BS

Where oxymoronic language like
"virtually spotless," "fresh frozen,"
"light yet filling" and "military intelligence" have become standard.

TV is the place where phrases are redefined, like "recession" to "necessary downturn," "crude oil" on a beach to "mousse," "civilian deaths" to "collateral damages," and being killed by your own army is now called "friendly fire."

@RexNunc Uhm, where did this 73% come from? LOL....did you research it? I kind of doubt that number when you have societies where leaders can convince their people to strap a bomb to themselves and their children.

[RobMonty248]

@RexNunc Yea, divide... Proof shown in the US bible, how many versions? Ive had people argue kinds james version is the only way, its all about making dumb people act dumber which causes diseases. Anyone using anger for anything is under the effect of TV.

@RexNunc "Sadly, Americans are 73% more likely than anywhere in the world to believe what they hear without investigation."

I'm not American but I'd hate to fall into that 73%... which leads me to the question, where did the 73% come from?

@OliviaHadassah  Mad as Hell!!!!

[8bennugent]

[NunsAllowed]

[stellarstarla]

Hadassah is a cool name, the original name of the Queen Esther!

@mastertnt76 yeah they try to everyday though. google owns youtube and owns the best search engine... they were building something for china before they got hacked and left... the providers want to make a tiered internet and the government wants their own control under the guise of the "net neutrality" bill... many people support that bill to stop tiered internet but never read it to find out whats hidden underneath.
