mc mantra – thanks for tuning in lyrics

verse 1:
on television is a well-mannered man sending a beckoning call out
to -ssemble the troops and let em handle the fall out
his route will no doubt see the pit of destruction
covered in controversy and hushed up discussions
partial instructions facilitate his conquest
with infinite new additions and limited prospects
for safety, survival, eyes of the world
see an economic enemy, but they ain’t speak its title
radio dials used to be tuned into music
now it’s rape and it’s violence, asio files
tidal wave mis-educating the youth
to see em lay suicidal. in this age of denial, what!

chorus:
it’s a hard line the media follow
not much food for thought but it’s easy to swallow
stand by for commercial freedom even if hollow
don‘t sleep just take a seat deep in your sorrow. (sorrow, sorrow, sorrow)
don‘t sleep just take a seat deep in your sorrow
thanks for tuning in this week see ya tomorrow

verse 2:
on television a similar program but the mans face has changed
tailor made suits are dutifully replaced
by military fatigues and a strong disposition
watch with baited breath while he states his position
morale has been lifted, it look as though the balance of power could be shiftin’
so we can keep living’
and keep listenin’ to the messages we‘ve been given
we’ll aware somehow that really nothin’ feels different
channel flip and let the scene skip a touch
just to absorb a new angle and pretend like we give a fuck
listen up! as you handed a story
a brave handsome warrior. phantasmagoria

(chorus)

verse 3:
on television is a eulogy, delivered comp-ssionately and beautifully
expressive and stern like he meant every word
and the depth of his deception is yet to be heard
but when the dead have returned, oh the lessons we learn
receive word of democratically elected head of state
red-letter day marks settin’ the record straight
celebratin’ the changin’ face of a nation
sedition laws keep the population sedated
telelevise bad dreams on plasma screens
as action teams top of the fascist regime
and in place of this fascist dictatorship, which name is it
civilians continue to live dangerous
grieve for the fallen and mourn the lost of honesty
international laws and foreign policy
all for the cause of more stock commodity
we pop corks, eat popcorn and watch atrocity

(chorus)
