Television The Drug Of The Nation - The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy[00:00:00]

One nation under God' has turned into[00:00:31]

One nation under the influence of one drug[00:00:36]

Television, the drug of the nation[00:00:41]

Breedin' ignorance an' feedin' radiation[00:00:44]

On television, the drug of the nation[00:00:47]

Breedin' ignorance an' feedin' radiation[00:00:49]

TV, its satellite links[00:00:52]

Our 'United States of Unconsciousness'[00:00:55]

Apathetic, therapeutic an' extremely addictive[00:00:58]

The methadone metronome pumpin' out[00:01:03]

150 channels, 24 hours a day[00:01:06]

You can flip through all of them[00:01:09]

An' still there's nothin' worth watchin'[00:01:11]

TV is the reason why less than 10 per cent[00:01:14]

Of our nation reads books daily[00:01:17]

Why most people think Central America means Kansas[00:01:19]

Socialism means Unamerican[00:01:22]

An' Apartheid is a new headache remedy[00:01:25]

Absorbed in its world, it's so hard to find us[00:01:31]

It shapes our minds the most[00:01:34]

Maybe the mother of our nation should remind us[00:01:37]

That we're sittin' too close[00:01:39]

To the television, the drug of the nation[00:01:42]

Breedin' ignorance an' feedin' radiation[00:01:45]

On television, the drug of the nation[00:01:47]

Breedin' ignorance an' feedin' radiation[00:01:50]

TV is the stompin' ground for political candidates[00:01:53]

Where bears in the woods are chased[00:01:57]

By Grecian formula'd bald eagles[00:01:59]

TV is mechanized politics' remote control[00:02:04]

Over the masses[00:02:08]

Co-sponsored by environmentally safe gases[00:02:09]

Watch for the PBS special[00:02:12]

It's the perpetuation of the two party system[00:02:15]

Where image takes precedence over wisdom[00:02:19]

Where sound bite politics are served[00:02:22]

To the fast food culture[00:02:24]

Where straight teeth in your mouth are more important[00:02:26]

Than the words that come out of it[00:02:29]

Race baiting is the way to get selected[00:02:31]

Willie Horton or Will he not get elected?[00:02:34]

On television, the drug of the nation[00:02:37]

Breedin' ignorance an' feedin' radiation[00:02:40]

On television, the drug of the nation[00:02:42]

Breedin' ignorance an' feedin' radiation[00:02:45]

TV, is it the reflector or the director ?[00:02:59]

Does it imitate us or do we imitate it?[00:03:03]

Because a child watches 1500 murders before he's 12 years old[00:03:05]

An' we wonder why we've created a Jason generation[00:03:11]

That learns to laugh rather than to abhor the horror[00:03:13]

TV is the place where armchair generals[00:03:21]

An' quarterbacks can experience first hand[00:03:24]

The excitement of video warfare[00:03:26]

As the theme song is sung in the background[00:03:29]

Sugar sweet sitcoms that leave us with a bad actor taste[00:03:33]

While pop stars metamorphosize into soda pop stars[00:03:37]

You saw the video, you heard the soundtrack[00:03:43]

Well, now go buy the soft drink[00:03:46]

Well, the only cola that I support[00:03:48]

Would be a Union C.O.L.A., cost of living allowance[00:03:51]

On television, the drug of the nation[00:03:54]

Breedin' ignorance an' feedin' radiation[00:03:57]

On television, the drug of the nation[00:04:00]

Breedin' ignorance an' feedin' radiation[00:04:02]

Back again, 'new an' improved'[00:04:17]

We return to our irregularly programmed schedule[00:04:18]

Hidden cleverly between heavy breasted beer[00:04:22]

An' car commercials[00:04:25]

CNN, ESPN, ABC, BCB, TNT but mostly B.S.[00:04:27]

Where oxymoronic language like 'virtually spotless'[00:04:35]

'Fresh, frozen', 'light yet filling'[00:04:41]

An' 'Military Intelligence' have become standard[00:04:44]

TV is a place where phrases are redefined[00:04:49]

Like 'recession' to 'necessary downturn'[00:04:52]

'Crude oil' on a beach to 'mousse'[00:04:55]

'Civilian death' to 'collateral damages'[00:04:58]

An' being killed by your own army[00:05:02]

Is now called 'Friendly fire'[00:05:04]

TV is the place where the pursuit of happiness[00:05:11]

Has become the pursuit of trivia[00:05:15]

Where toothpaste an' cars have become sex objects[00:05:17]

Where imagination is sucked out of children[00:05:22]

By a cathode ray nipple[00:05:26]

TV is the only wet nurse that would create a cripple[00:05:28]

Television, the drug of the nation[00:05:34]

Breedin' ignorance an' feedin' radiation[00:05:36]

On television, the drug of the nation[00:05:39]

Breedin' ignorance an' feedin' radiation[00:05:41]

On television, the drug of the nation[00:05:44]

Breedin' ignorance an' feedin' radiation[00:05:47]

On television, the drug of the nation[00:05:50]

Breedin' ignorance an' feedin' radiation[00:05:52]
