Lyrics
I've been listening to what you said
I have been paying attention to your words
And wondering if it could be true
Contemplating whether what you said is true
If it's as bad as you say out there
Questioning the severity of the situation you describe
I'll leave the going out to you
If it's as bad as you claim, I'll let you handle it
Statistics prove its not too bright
Statistics indicate it's unwise to be in dark streets at night
To walk the darker streets at night
Walking in darker streets is risky
Or to talk to people you don't know
Advising against interacting with strangers
My worlds become a horror show
My world has turned into a frightening experience
There's a murder in my living room
There is a disturbing element in my immediate surroundings
My child is watching avidly
My child is observing with great interest
Should I venture out tonight
Contemplating going out tonight despite the dangers
Tomorrow he'll be watching me
Realizing that my actions impact my child's perception
You pay your money take your choice
Choices have consequences, and one must accept them
But every channel plays the same
Media channels all present the same content
The audience hears his master's voice
Media influences people, keeping them afraid and controlled
Keeps him scared and keeps him tame
This control keeps individuals scared and obedient
I'm not believing all I see
I am skeptical about everything I witness
Fabrications on T.V.
Television broadcasts contain fabricated information
Distort the news, feed us your views
News is distorted, and personal opinions are imposed on us
I'm not fooled so easily
I am not easily deceived
