Civil Paranoia

We are so paranoid, we’ve become the victims of our own

fear

Rationality is subordinate, when tuned 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 corresponds to 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 dimmest 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 to 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 f**king 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 they 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
