LYRICS
you’re confused the tv and the movies really did a number on you you’re confused the tv and the news really did a number on you and you’re ready all too ready ready to accept that this is the way it’s always been and so it must not be broke it’s working so long and we’ve made it this far oh what a marvelous invention that can capture your attention and once it starts to move you it starts all over they’ll remind you that you disagree with crime and who will you call when it finds you once the bruises start showing up they’re harder to hide how will you protect your eyes and keep your kids safe from the truth the system isn’t broken it’s working the way it’s supposed to you think you can turn it on and turn it off you keep turning oh what a marvelous invention that can capture your attention and once they start to lose you it starts all over they’ll tell you that it’s just one bad apple and there’s no such thing as free lunch no matter how many times they prove themselves to be the bully you’ll stand behind them so you won’t be the one whose hit you won’t be the one whose bones get broken
