roqy tyraid - idiot box lyrics

[roqy]
and for the next segment, we join an average american household on an average evening

wholesome foods, the clanking of forks and spoons/
family dinner table, the ambience, local news/
candidly educative, ‘cuz anchors expose the truth/
tragically, this has changed up, a decade or so or two/
nothing but content for contemporary reporters who/
negated significant information to your confusion/
overly opinionated anchors withhold the truth/
statements equivocated, we’re slaves to their point of view/
the stations divert you from pertinent issues, purposely/
laden with entertainment related articles, personally/
certain nothing’s an accident, from their scare tactics/
interchangeable anchors with h0m-genized accents/
all props due msnbcnn, demographs are “democrats”/
and “bigots watch fox news”/
why is life so black and white? left or right?/
politicians use the same messages in different lights, same religions, different christs/
subtle racism is commonplace/
even before 9-11, people of islamic faith/
treated like their evil and they’ll bomb the place/
“same with mexican illegals in the copper state/
this tv teach your mind to hate/
all these correspondents are just proper talking actors/
preaching beneficiaries’ propaganda, cannot/
blindly follow what they sellin’ on the teleprompter/
the fat lady screams the devil’s opera, i’m watchin’/

the idiot box, uh, the idiot box
rarely something of substance but we consistently watch
it is the northern star of ignorance, in living rooms dark
but you’ll feel cut off from the whole world the minute it’s off
this is the idiot box, i’m watching the idiot box
fillin’ my head with irrelevance at whatever o’clock
a detriment to intelligence if depended a lot
the day it eats away, either way i’ll continue to watch..

the history channel with a grain of salt/
egyptians depicted as light skinned, unless they explain their cults (hmm)/
suddenly, it’s chocolate city, cue the ominous music/
“and smokey dimly-lit rooms built for ritual uses/
subtly teaching “lighter is righter and blacker is badder/
and how many hitler shows do you have on this channel?!/
stop romanticizing n-z-sm/
your version of american history is contradictive, listen/
jefferson ain’t build america, his slaves did/
you gave plague filled blankets to the natives/
during both world war, we would trade with/
the enemy, a pretty penny for our bankers/
they don’t talk about incestrial royal families which are still around/
like her majesty’s royal crown (oops!)/
more facts, less fiction, less myths in your topics/
and spare me the washington “cherry tree” nonsense/

everything’s a lie/
what would the future say of leaders who conveniently died/
who had oil in their region that they’d keep to the side/
for their own people “who need freedom”, so we’d frequently spy/
it’s a shame, how we campaign/
we went from playing call of duty, to a tour of one/
and dodging bullets like – max payne (pew!)/
it’s not a d-mn game/
history channel, holocaust isn’t anne frank/
it’s dying of typhoid, ‘cuz you can’t bathe!/
rats, and flees, internment camps/
though, not as bad, we did similar acts to the j-panese!/
makeshift cots, where they had to sleep/
sticky rice and apricots, what is that to eat/
attempt to sweep that part of history under the rug/
like the truth about reagan’s little “war on drugs”/
and the most probable reason they robbed kennedy of life/
‘cuz he had some integrity and shed a little bit of life, get it right/

this the idiot box uh
the idiot box uh (x4)
the idiot box
fillin’ my head with irrelevance at whatever o’clock
this the idiot box uh
the idiot box uh (x4)
the idiot box
the day it eats away, either way, disconnect it i’ll not

-psshhhh brrrrrrrr- this is not a test. do not touch your dial
-psshhhhh brrrrrr psshhhhhhh- this has been your emergency broadcast system
you can now return to thinking independently

turn off your d-mn tv for once..
