I've been watching for years and years
 Programmed by money,  and darker fears
 Forty thousand killings seen
 By the time that I'm eighteen
 product of the world
 That we're living in 

 Their mind is the mind that's behind your mind
 They make you think this
 Their thoughts are the thoughts of the thoughts that you think
 That's why you think this 

 Sleeping young minds awake
 To this mass of confusion
 Pre-decided path you take
 Is just an illusion
 Starting out at day one
 Now the training has begun
 This is how they reach
 Into your mind 

 Their brain is the brain that controls your brain
 They make you think this
 The life you live is the life they give
 That's why you think this
 The life you live is the life they give
 That's why you think this 

 Watch it! Believe it! Receive it!
 See it! You eat it! Consume it!
 Live it! Dream it! Think it! 

 Gaze into the screen
 And be amazed
 All these things that you don't have
 That you crave
 You pray to God
 And your work so hard
 But that's gotten you to where so far
 You're just a slave
 To the cathode ray
