Brainwash Broadcast

(album: Upright Animals - 2022)

Live form the eye in sky
Viewer discretion not advised
Deception in disguise
The nightmare is televised

You're so naive, we lie and you believe
Number one station for misinformation
Don't look away, see and obey
Quiet on the set

Tune into the panic on the screen of your maniac machine
Program and condition, American tradition
Enjoy the dread with your favorite talking head
It's time to sit back and relax, for the brainwash broadcast

Start the transmission
Of hopeless disposition
Imbalance of power
Every hour on the hour

Each channel one and the same
The only change is the name
Perpetual doom and gloom
Inside the newsroom
Poison the minds of the youth
With our version of the truth
You won't have a clue when you

Tune into the panic on the screen of your maniac machine
Program and condition, American tradition
Enjoy the dread with your favorite talking head
It's time to sit back and relax, for the brainwash

Deceive me, lies, camera action
For the brainwash broadcast
Believing, in this distraction
For the brainwash broadcast

Sit back, and relax
For the brainwash broadcast
Oh, for the brainwash broadcast

Forecast is cloudy, with a chance of almost certain death
If you're waiting on some good news, don't hold your breath
Behold the information Cold War
Activist journalists, don't care about the truth anymore

Tune into the panic on the screen of your maniac machine
Program and condition, American tradition
Enjoy the dread with your favorite talking head
It's time to sit back and relax, for the brainwash

Deceive me, lies, camera action
For the brainwash broadcast
Believing, in this distraction
For the brainwash broadcast

Tune in to the panic on the screen of your maniac machine
Program and condition, American tradition
Enjoy the dread with your favorite talking head
It's time to sit back and relax, for the brainwash broadcast
The brainwash broadcast, yeah
