Open your eyes
To the lies
Read the signs
Intertwined inside the headlines
Open your mind
You went blind
In this era of diversion
For the sake of mankind
You gotta open your eyes
To the lies
Read the signs
Intertwined inside the headlines
Open your mind
You went blind
In this era of diversion (yo)
For the sake of mankind
Open your eyes and let go of the hive
Of worker bees whose purpose seems
To be control 'til they die
Never knowing the why
Or how it went down
All they know is it happened
At some point they became another victim of
Multimedia distraction
Stay rush, stay ahead of the game
Television and radio wired
Direct to your brain
While your attention is trained
To following them other visuals
Skull and bone, sleight of hand, political rituals
In a system of government where the Republicans take information as integral
The level of lies the media tries to sell us is unequivocal
Habitual tactics made to distract
You away from the issue
Ignore the war
Watch Paris wipe her a** with a tissue (that's hot)
While you were looking at Anna Nicole
Soldiers we love went to war leaving families at home
As we watched the smoke screen of corporate news shows freedom died
This song is the bell's d**h toll
Open your eyes
To the lies
Read the signs
Intertwined inside the headlines
Open your mind
You went blind
In this era of diversion
For the sake of mankind
You gotta open your eyes
To the lies
Read the signs
Intertwined inside the headlines
Open your mind
You went blind
In this era of diversion
For the sake of mankind
Let go of the notions you chose to suppose
Locate your own way to stay in the know
If you don't pay attention I suggest you listen close
cause folks won't get it if I don't spit it slow
Since Hoover and Nixon mixed up the system
We've been on a crash course with collision
No trust and division of the country we live in
All praise to the buck, hands up for the bidding
Never take what they give over to me at face value
Base your info on everything around you
Speak the truth even when everyone doubt you
From me to you I got a letter going out to
Flag waving nationalists, gra** saving naturalists
And tax paying families with kids
Cash craving capitalists keep facts fading past the abyss
This cat's past waiting pa** me a fist
That's what flips a pacifist into a terrorist for certain
Filming ma**acres and then they air a different version
Beware of false a**ertions
Prepare for the incursion
Let's tear apart the curtain on this era of diversion
Open your eyes
To the lies
Read the signs
Intertwined inside the headlines
Open your mind
You went blind
In this era of diversion
For the sake of mankind
You gotta open your eyes
To the lies
Read the signs
Intertwined inside the headlines
Open your mind
You went blind
In this era of diversion
For the sake of Mankind
