It seems to me there's a new curriculum
Without a balanced equilibrium
What ever happened to the way things were
Its all a blur, no medium
Idiocy is the prerequisite
When MTV has got their hands in it
Abomination, a god awful shame
But who's to blame
Mass media
Is that how its gonna be
All I see is mental truancy
They're not as clever as they seem
Its all the same to me
No new philosophy is seen
You never question what they feed to you
Like asking blind people to see for you
you wear a bar code, but you wear it well
They lies they sell, you're buying them
The operations got it all worked out
Keep your sedated, keep you nailed down
Substance cannot defeat the dollar bill
A platform built on a tedium
Is that how its gonna be
All I see is mental truancy
They're not as clever as they seem
Its all the same to me
No new philosophy is seen
Salt on an open sore
Its hard to feel much more
What's easy
Standards receding
With sights set on the green
Can't call the music clean
Its sleazy
Heartless and greedy
You built it up to tear it down (x3)
