lyrics

Just sit back and relax, get rid of all the negative tension
Have a single look it’s all they need to catch your attention

Welcome you’re not hurt only hypnotized
by a weapon of massive distraction
Just forget about your care they’ll make sure
you get your fix of daily satisfaction
right till the end and you’ll never get enough

From the bottom of your chair you stare
at the streaming flow of images
Numb from all the non-sense they keep feeding
Thinking you’re still in control
The addiction is sinking in
You can’t escape the sickening (feeling)

Entertainment has become our mind-bending daily routine
a subtle underestimated form of violence
Prefab dreams on your brand new flat TV screen
On every ad, on every display, on every cover of your magazines

From the bottom of your chair you stare
at the streaming flow of images
Numb from all the non-sense they keep feeding
Thinking you’re still in control
The addiction is sinking in
You can’t escape the sickening (feeling)

Motionless, disconnected, mesmerized eyes
you're medicated

From the bottom of your chair you stare
at the streaming flow of images
Numb from all the non-sense they keep feeding
Thinking you’re still in control
The addiction is sinking in
You can’t escape the sickening (feeling)

I love it. Have to agree with still bummed: this packs an emotional punch but rocks hard. I've played this whole album repeatedly over the last week which is unusual for me. Exhilarating, poignant, intelligent, melodic. Robin Ward
