The song discusses the way that the media has turned every trivial
thing into an event. No matter how big or how small the event really is
the media has the power to turn it into whatever serves them best. The
song also addresses the idea that because of media and media coverage the
world is desensitized to images that would ordinarily be very emotional and
meaningful. The final words of the song are, "Sadly we're desensitized To
all the scandals and the cover ups The conspiracies and lies."
We live in a country that one day people are watching television
and the next thing you know on live television John F. Kennedy is being
shot. The American public is constantly being bombarded by graphic
pictures of all backgrounds, from murder scenes to starving children.
There are constantly stories of conspiracies, scandals, theft, and
political lies.
