I was looking at the TV news

People everywhere blowing a fuse

People everywhere under the gun,

Little kids dying never had no fun

Human beings ain´t got no brains

Think you´re better but you´re all the same

Think you´re clever but you´re all to blame

Here we are again in the same old frame

Shut up, I´m talking to you,

It´s on television so it can´t be true

And I can´t play that game no more,

Wake up and see it through

Kill the many to save the few,

I know what the blind man sees

On your feet or on your knees

Headline terror crime on rise,

Half ain´t true the rest is lies

Same old smile on the same old face,

Same old horse win the same old race

I wouldn´t smile if I was you,

Don´t relax, ´cos it ain´t so new

Watch your back, light the light outside,

Somebody comin´ that you just can´t bribe

Shut up, I´m talking to you,

It´s on television so it can´t be true

But I can´t believe their lies no more,

Watch out, I´m comin´ through,

Boogey man gonna bite you too,

I know what the blind man sees

On your feet or on your knees

I was reading some magazine,

It was written for human beings

Can´t believe the stuff I read,

Human trash for human heads

You humans don´t be so proud,

You humans don´t talk too loud

You humans just ain´t too smart,

It´s enough to break my human heart

Listen up, I´m talking to you

Pay attention ´cos I mean you too

And I will tell you something new

Your values ain´t worth a dime

Human rights just human crime

I know what the blind man sees

On your feet or on your knees
