Time After Time

Time to understand how my mind's been altered
To see what they want me to see
And how the truth's been filtered
After all I've seen so many die
Living life through the screen
A life that is just a lie
And the preacher who said he was pure
And the false tears that stain the screen
When he's caught when he's sleeping
All my thoughts are implanted
All my views have been slanted
Outside have all the answers
A cause of animosity
Drugs and sex tonight on Geraldo
A thought bred curiosity
After all I've seen so many die
I've seen our presidents turning lie after lie
And it's all world news every day
A hunger for freedom that's leading today
All my thoughts are implanted
All my views have been slanted
Time and time again we see
The cycle continues
Programmed designed to drain
The soul that's within you
After all I've seen so many die
Searching for that pot of gold
Playing to the dollar sign
We could turn black and white to gray
But the bigotry and ignorance just won't go away
Save the children on a distant shore
When the starving and homeless are dying at our door
Groomed my mind for implanting
My free will is implanted
All my thoughts are implanted
All my views
