lyrics

can we get your attention? or have gone to far into the dark
I we just one more distraction? We're connected from day until the night
cell phone and business call, to caught up to care at all
no time,no friends, distraction its nothing new
no time for politics, business men they lick their lips
and we're all discontent, so buy the next big thing.

(Chorus)
And we sold out, and we sold big, for endless bits of information so that we can't even think, or participate, in anything anymore, turn on your TV, close the door

Can we get your permission? To think outside the box, or memorize it all
Its just a negative reaction, to what we're plugged into and where we get our news
If we don't pay for it, we're not the target audience, big business listens in and tells us what the topic is
Its a rosy despair, with social constructs where, we lost so much more than we'll ever understand

(Chorus)

So I, close my eyes to it all, shame on me, shame on you, we're only here to consume everything in the world, so go and do your little part now patriot and leave us out.
