​tpk - VHS lyrics

[Intro] Entertainment comes in many forms... And it comes in a black box... You can love it, or hate it... But they will always get paid for it [Verse 1] You watch the TV screen like everyday You pop in a VHS tape and press play Watch the colors flicker on the screen Immerse yourself as if it were a dream It's your prized posession, can't live without it... Your favorite movies and shows, the VHS holds it Just deposit your cash at your local Blockbuster And enjoy your status as a complete total s**er Corporations control the black box, it ain't free The nostalgia you hold most satifies their greed They control everything, pop culture is theirs The system is corrupt and you're not even scared? I guess you love the VHS tape that you hold Do you do everything that you're told? I guess so, because the cultures control you Now tell me, what are you going to do? [Interlude] Time doesn't stay the same A VHS doesn't stay a VHS It grows, expands... Becomes something different [Verse 2] Years go by, things get smaller and smaller Now we got a small cellphone for us to holla Subject's still the same, except it's worldwide... On the web, it's easy to access and provide No longer do you have to have a disc All you need is a subscription to Netflix Binge all you want, degrade your intelligence To the point where you eventually lose your sense All you know is TV, all you lived is TV You may not realize it but you're a fatality You have no opinion, you have no originality Cause you just a victim of artificiality Corporate media is everywhere, this ain't no different If you believe in yourself, you better be persistent Go make your own stuff, stop watching the big cats Because originality is cool and the mainstream is wack
