Esau - Stop Being Blinded lyrics

Da Wizard I believe that the creators of the news hire crews To batter and abuse all the clues and keep us all confused And leary of leaving your home For the fear of the unknown And now they got you in a zone Believing only what they've shown Until your mind is blown from the badness Sadness, madness, very little gladness Until you buy protection from your fears But how do you k** a fear They've got you where they want you In a life that's plus and minus You might as well use your anchor man as a security blanket And change your name to Linus It's easy to control the metropolis With the amount of negativity that's fed to the populace But you 've got to keep it clear Too much can cause rebellion But the right amount can cause fear Enough to cause lack of trust Enough to cause hatred and disgust Enough to make you lust Enough to make a little kid grab the gun an bust Enough to make you leave your lover in the dust Enough to make you cuss And if it wasn't bad enough to handle They hit you with the 24 hour a day newschannels Trying to keep us all in grief with no relief They got you gritting your teeth and waiting for someone to beef They giving you the foul run of it, flaky government Here is the news, they need to put the word bad in front of it You think that's ill, check me The news is a criminal's blueprint on doing crime correctly And good deeds go unheard of But you hear about crime, the bad politics and of murder And it's hard to read into the subjects that they lead into They bleeding you with this illness they feeding you Until you get full, from what you thought was a brand new cow But it was the same old bull Stop being blinded Stop being metally sleighed with this nickel and dime sh** We don't have to be reminded Cause if you search for yourself then the truth is where you find it Stop being blinded Stop being metally sleighed with this nickel and dime sh** We don't have to be reminded Cause if you search for yourself then the truth is where you find it Esau I'm not too happy with all this sh** I see on TV It's gotten to me and all I do is stay confined to my misery Locked away looking at ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN and MSNBC Kosovo depressed me, China scares me Y2K is coming to get me And all I see when I turn on my local news TV is the newest remedy For me to cure my case of my HIV Or Syphyllis or Herpes, because 20% of Americans have it So you know that means me I look at the world pesimistically And I discovered it looks the same right back at me The world is out to get me Salesmen try to jerk me, drunk drivers aiming their cars at me And high school nerds are trying to hurt me I don't eat beef, because the government laces it chemically But I can admit I'm addicted to chicken The steroid-enhanced original white meat An Arab k**ed an Israli, an Indian a Pakistani A cop k**ed a homeless lady in Cincinnati Is it just me or is the world really that crazy That I can't even go to the mall To get myself a pair of new Nikes Cause someone might rob me on my way out of Starbuck's coffee Here you go man it's just a latte and my money I'll I got is a buck-thirty But you know they'll take it all according to TV And it's negativity Last night on TV I saw d**h and disease I saw rape and conspiracy I saw sh** I hoped would never happen to me I saw kids with no feet and kids with no teeth living poverty And complete misery. I also saw a new high on Wall Street More money made today than ever in history But none was giving to me or those kids that preceded f** the media and be wary of your local news stories on TV Stop being blinded Stop being metally sleighed with this nickel and dime sh** We don't have to be reminded Cause if you search for yourself then the truth is where you find it Stop being blinded Stop being metally sleighed with this nickel and dime sh** We don't have to be reminded Cause if you search for yourself then the truth is where you find it
