In the big picture
Behind the scenes
America is changing

But slow changes are hard to see
Our feeble memories blind us to the difference between then and now
The regiment of day-to-day life lulls us into numbness
And a million mindless diversions steal our attention

They give us video games, prime-time-softore-porn, and homeland security fears in exchange for our very souls

Like a magicians slight-of-hand they feed us slogans to chant
while they take away our freedom

We march into 1984 with a smile on our faces.

The factory workers and fast food servers
are told to cheer or be accused of moral treason.

The American dreams been sold for media dollars
paid for by CEOs who keep politicians on short-leash-dog-collars.

You might say its not true that youre free as can be!
But Madison Avenue ad executives make no secret of the way they wash our brains.
Our values are created by media-giants who keep entertainment safe.
Clear Channel controls what you hear and Disney and Viacom tell us not what, but how to think.

They say sex and killing our fine but dont dare ever question authority.

Those in power speak openly of their deceit because they are confident we are so completely controlled that we wont pay attention while were bought and sold.

And every day we prove them right.
We proclaim our freedom while we embrace conformity
And enforce obedience

But put your ear to the wind, read their books, listen to their speeches.
And suddenly they presidents promises have a more ominous meaning

Greed is good they say
Democracy should go to the highest bidder.
Every-man-for-himself.
Let power rule the day.
