This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Media, Media, Media, Media
Blinds my eyes (X2)
Trying to Trying to
Trying to fuck my mind (X2)
Television blinds my eyes
It's not real, the mediaÕs
owned by the rich
Don't be confused by their
propaganda
Television blinds my eyes
Smash your TV (X4)
Life on TV's beautiful, this
portrait I despise
Make war look so
glamourous It's all a
bunch of lies
Censored by the military,
can't tell us all the truth
These controlled airwaves try to
Brainwash me and you
Bush sez it's OK that so
many people are dying.
The news doesn't tell us
that the president is lying.
He says it protects our way
of life when it only protects
his. It doesnÕt help anyway
And that's the way it is.
Media, Media, Media, Media
distorts the new (X2)
Promoting, Promoting,
Promoting, Promoting
corporate views (X2)
Television blinds my eyes
ItÕs not real the mediaÕs
owned by the rich
DonÕt be confused by their
propaganda
Television blinds my eyes.
Smash your TV (X4)
Images of Wall Street and all
that money you can make.
Dressing up in business suits
ItÕs all so god damn fake
Working for beaurocracy
pushing pencils everyday
Sitting in a cubicle. BIG
Business go away
The rest of the world slaves
away so the pigs can go sit
on their ass
The war machine keeps
marching on. They are so
fucking crass
Since we all want freedom
We must make this system fall
People believe things on TV
Media kills us all
Right Now
So much war, so much
destruction
Lives are wasted for production
so much anger, so much
hate
If things don't change, the
human race will end
Will the 90's be another
decade of apathy?
Are we going to sit by and
watch things get worse?
NO!
The rich will stop at nothing
to control the world and keep
their power
They all live like royalty at
the expense of you and me
Right now (Chorus)
In this new world order
Right Now
No one is free
Right now
Corporations own this world
Right now
We are victims of their greed
Buying off the government
Destroying the environment
Making sure there's not
enough so they can keep their
prices up
There's food rotting in
warehouses while people
starve to death
Big business won't give it to
these people to save there live
because they won't make a
profit AHHHHH!!
Right now (Chorus)
Are you prepared? Do you
have what it takes? to
overlook your selfishness and
create a better place?
First we must destroy the
system!
Right now (Chorus)
If things don't change the
human race will end!

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
No Surprises
Radiohead

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
