Message Songtext
von Lenny Forgets

Feedback from your mouth reflects empty mind
Only nailing down lids to opinions you bind
To your ways. You feel so wise when you say
That to die for a crime is too much to be paid

No matter whose life or love has been omitted
As victims of a deed the offender committed
Now you pat yourself on the back a few more times
As you recite some lines you′ve heard about human rights

So grab your number 2, study up and prepare
Cause it's time to put your elitist mindset to the test
When I cut you off, you try to run me down
Dispensing punishment, executing judgement

Montage of images presented on tv
Watch pain intensify, you′re shocked but intrigued
Present as entertainment, on prime time, suffering


Violent images
Broken compassion
Something has been lost

They're teaching us to kill
Programming us to hate
We've got to shut it off
Before it gets too late

Numbed by the things you′re seeing, it′s easy to forget
Programmed inside to lash out, your reactions have been set
Now life's a competition, and violence begets...

Violent images
Broken compassion
Something has been lost

They′re teaching us to kill
Programming us to hate
We've got to shut it off
Before it gets too late


Humans are not objects
Compassion is not weakness
Your anger is injustice
Your punishment is undue
