Brainwashed

As soon as she's back home she's gotta turn on the screen
To get her dose of fantasy and forget her daily routine
That's how she learns what's in, what's out, what she must do to be cool
She also learns what she must buy if she doesn't wanna look like a fool

Her life couldn't be any different
Filled by all this magic she craves
Entertainment rules !

- Brainwashed - For hours every day
She's drowned in illusion
'Til her consciousness slips away
- Brainwashed - Out of touch and mesmerized
She's force fed with data
Leaving no space for thought in her mind

He likes to claim he's a responsible, well informed citizen
Society, politics, he's an opinionated man
And since he's gotta know what's goin' on all over the planet
He spends a lot of time watching the all-news channels

So proud to live in a land of freedom
No doubt could ever shade his certainty
Democracy rules !

- Brainwashed - For hours every day
He's drowned in illusion
'Til his consciousness slips away
- Brainwashed - And tricked by a pack of lies
His head's crammed with data
Leaving no space for thought in his mind

Let's face it, we're all prisoners of the system
Dumbed down so that we never realize
Manipulation rules !

- Brainwashed - For hours every day
We're drowned in illusion
'Til our consciousness slips away
- Brainwashed - To keep our dreams alive
And prevent us from finding out
Who rules from behind
- Brainwashed - Over and over again
In this world of make-believe
Truth would look quite insane
- Brainwashed - Carefree, naive and blind
We're saturated with data
Leaving no space for thought in our minds
