Lyrics
MEDIA MOVERS
Media menagerie, hoping for chaos
They wanna own your brain
Media doops, filling us with buy-it loops
They wanna train our brains
Media time, yours and mine
They wanna control what we look too
CHORUS: T.V. ain?t our friend,
a game of pretend!
Media in our lives,
get-rich quick schemes!
Retard your life, paying for it more than twice
What are we up to?
Life and death, they?re trying to make us pets,
They want a base for consumption
CHORUS: T.V. on a binge, making us cringe!
Image in our lives at all time highs!
Instrumental
CHORUS: T.V. ain?t our friend, it never has been!
Media is our plug, a gateway drug!
Media movers, shakers and groovers
Why do we love them so? (2X, second time Retard)
