Lyrics
Media, can't help themselves these days
Look around they'll be telling you what to say
What to think, what to wear and what to eat
Before you know it, you'll be walking in another man's feet
Cause underneath the microscope everything seemed fine
Then we took a closer look, this world was not quite right
What happened to the thinking man?
What happened to his mind?
Everytime that TV's on, I think of our demise
Reality is blasted thru your screen
And Values are just some old fashioned thing
Look around its happening most every day
Before you know it your whole world has been stripped away
(Chorus)
Maybe its time to wake up
And leave this shit behind
Start ourselves a new life
Imagine if we tried
Imagine if we tried
If we tried...
(Chorus)
Now you've spent your life in front of your big screen
Empty promises they haven't given you a single thing
Oh the hours you wasted on the gossip of them stars
The commercials were so kind to your mind but they really messed with your heart....
