500 channels of a day-dream stimulationhelps me to resent my life and raise my expectations.Locked into re-runs, your memories repeating,and all your ideals seem so self defeating.For you and yours, the pepsi generation,and when you're discontent, you change the T.V. station,And when you hate your life, no qualtities redeeming,a million brainwashed zombies will always be heard screaming...And when there is no hope,"I'll smoke some crack, I'll shoot some dope!"When theres no enemies,"I sit and stare at my T.V.and in my ignorance,I'll be a slave and sycophant!"And in a perfect world devoid of all temptations,the good leftover crizack could unite the nations.But now the war machines are mapping our destructionswith poisons over flowing in the chemical seductions.And when there is no hope,"I'll smoke some crack, I'll shoot some dope!"When theres no enemies,"I sit and stare at my T.V.and in my ignorance,I'll be a slave and sycophant!"With my credit and my bank,my mind will draw a blank.I'll block out history,and stare at my T.V.For me there is no way.500 channels waste my life away, away...When you feel your life ain't worth living you've got to stand up andtake a look around you then a look way up to the sky.And when your deepest thoughts are broken, keep on dreaming boy, cause when you stop dreamin' it's time to die.
