I wrote that one after one lazy afternoon where you just lie around in bed, watch stupid brain damaging TV-Shows. One of those afternoons
you can´t figure out what to do with yourself even though you have so many things to do...
I hate myself on days like these... and you should too ;)
Considering my English back then, I think this is my favorite song, lyrically on that album.
lyrics
With quite blank eyes and the mind shut off,
tied to the couch we only gaze numbly into the screen,
by which we’re getting beamed
straight to a totally surreal place,
where we can soothe our daily ache,
blindly follow the media’s fake,
get lost in their electronical haze,
which is misleading the whole human-race!
Because we take everything for real, every shit we see, I love my TV!
Everyday revealed on the screen, society shows its ugly face
and we don’t even complain ‘bout the theft on our brain
and rather err through their virtual maze,
With their philosophy of entertainment and superficiality
they keep us dumb to guarantee that we fit their machinery
and so we settle for less than the best,
kept trapped in our mental slavery
dazzled by the twinkling lights and role model jerks broadcasted each day on tv ,emptv!
