Lyrics

MEDIA INFECTION

Just an average modern child he's seen the changes all around him
And it isn't helping his condition.
Some would say he has a problem - call it "Media Infection"
'Cause he's watching lots of television.

What has he seen? What has he heard?

(Chorus)
Money's the game. Get wealth and fame.
Buy a new car. Drink like a star.
Wear our blues jeans. Use any means.
Break any laws. Hide all your flaws.
Never to trust. Lust in the dust.
Borrow for life. Cheat on your wife.
Join in the fight. Our cause is right.
Badness is fun. Evil has won.

Watching papas beating mamas, all the games shows and soap operas,
Using all the time at his disposal.
Fed these modern situations with few quality examples,
He is made to think that these are normal.

What has he seen? What has he heard?

Chorus

This is not an isolated case of "Media Infection".
It is spreading to all kinds of people.
Children, adults, and teenagers, rich or poor - it doesn't matter.
It comes from our movies, books, and journals.

What have we seen? What have we heard?

Chorus
