Story Behind The Song

My observation is that the corporate media's need to sell product outweighs its duty to inform with clairity.

Song Description

In the film "Network" ,the news anchor shouts "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore". We the people are now shouting back at the corporate media machine.

Lyrics

DON'T CARE ABOUT BASEBALL FEVER
DON'T CARE ABOUT ATHLETIC SHOES
DON'T CARE FOR THE SUPER BOWL
DON'T CARE WHOSE BUD I AM

I'M TURNING IT OFF
I'M TURNING IT OFF

DON'T CARE FOR POINT AND SHOOT JOURNALISTS
WITH AN EYE ON THE ANCHOR CHAIR
DON'T CARE ABOUT THE WEATHER REPORT
WHERE I LIVE THE WEATHER'S ALWAYS FAIR
DON'T CARE FOR THE INSTITUTIONS
DON'T BELIEVE YOU?RE TALKING STRAIGHT
YOUR CORPORATE PUNDANTS MUCKING UP THE PLACE
DON'T CARE FOR YOUR MOCK DEBATES

I'M TURNING IT OFF
I'M TURNING IT OFF

I DON'T SHARE YOUR NEED FOR ENEMIES
DON'T CARE FOR THE TONE OF YOUR DELIVERY
DON'T CARE FOR YOUR RACIST ATTACKS
TURNING IT OFF
I DON'T CARE FOR YOUR VILLIFICATION
YOU BLAME ONLY THOSE FLAT ON THEIR BACKS
DON'T CARE TO SEE YOUR FEIGNED COMPASSISON
DON'T CARE TO BE THE BRUNT OF YOUR ATTACK
I'M TURNING IT OFF
I'M TURNING IT OFF

THE POOR HAVE NEVER BOUGHT AN ELECTION
I SEE NO WELFARE MOMS IN POWER
I DON'T BELIEVE YOUR CLAIMS OF VICTORY
ONLY A POVERTY OF CONSPIRACY
I DON'T CARE FOR WALL STREET
THEY'LL NEVER SEE A DOLLAR OF MINE
I'M LIVING WELL BELOW THE POVERTY LINE
HAND TO MOUTH ON EVERY STREET

I'M TURNING IT OFF
I'M TURNING IT OFF

I DON'T CARE FOR YOUR ARMY NAVY KILLERS
THE AIRFORCE MARINES
I DON'T BELIEVE IN NUCLEAR JUSTICE
OR THE MADE FOR T.V. BLOODLESS BATTLE SCENES
I DON'T CARE FOR YOUR CORPORATE SOLUTIONS
I DON'T LIKE THOSE HATCHET MEN
I DON'T BELIEVE THOSE MILLION DOLLAR CANDIDATES
I DON'T EXPECT ANYTHING FROM THEM

I'M TURNING IT OFF
I'M TURNING IT OFF

I DON'T BELIEVE IN A FASCIST JESUS
OR THAT AMERICA IS THE NEW JERUSALEM
I DON'T BELIEVE GOD NEEDS MY MONEY MR. FARWELL
I DON'T BELIEVE GOD IS A NAME
I'M TURING IT OFF
DON'T NEED ANOTHER NEWS FLASH BULLETIN
DON'T CARE ABOUT THE THIRD WORLD WAR
DON'T BELIEVE THERE'S A NEW WORLD ORDER
DON'T CARE HOW MANY PEASANTS CROSS THE BORDER

I'M TURNING IT OFF
I'M TURNING IT OFF

I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE LATEST FASHION NEWS
THOSE EXOTIC GIRLS KNOW ABOUT CARS OR BOOZE?
DON'T NEED ANOTHER MASS ADDICTION
DON'T BELIEVE A SMOKE IS COOL


I'M TURNING IT OFF
I'M TURNING IT OFF
I'M TURNING IT OFF
I'M TURNING IT OFF
I'M TURNING IT OFF
