Da Wizard

I believe that the creators of the news hire crews

To batter and abuse all the clues and keep us all confused

And leary of leaving your home

For the fear of the unknown

And now they got you in a zone

Believing only what they've shown

Until your mind is blown from the badness

Sadness, madness, very little gladness

Until you buy protection from your fears

But how do you kill a fear

They've got you where they want you

In a life that's plus and minus

You might as well use your anchor man as a security blanket

And change your name to Linus

It's easy to control the metropolis

With the amount of negativity that's fed to the populace

But you 've got to keep it clear

Too much can cause rebellion

But the right amount can cause fear

Enough to cause lack of trust

Enough to cause hatred and disgust

Enough to make you lust

Enough to make a little kid grab the gun an bust

Enough to make you leave your lover in the dust

Enough to make you cuss

And if it wasn't bad enough to handle

They hit you with the 24 hour a day newschannels

Trying to keep us all in grief with no relief

They got you gritting your teeth and waiting for someone to beef

They giving you the foul run of it, flaky government

Here is the news, they need to put the word bad in front of it

You think that's ill, check me

The news is a criminal's blueprint on doing crime correctly

And good deeds go unheard of

But you hear about crime, the bad politics and of murder

And it's hard to read into the subjects that they lead into

They bleeding you with this illness they feeding you

Until you get full, from what you thought was a brand new cow

But it was the same old bull

Stop being blinded

Stop being metally sleighed with this nickel and dime shit

We don't have to be reminded

Cause if you search for yourself then the truth is where you find it

Stop being blinded

Stop being metally sleighed with this nickel and dime shit

We don't have to be reminded

Cause if you search for yourself then the truth is where you find it

I'm not too happy with all this shit I see on TV

It's gotten to me and all I do is stay confined to my misery

Locked away looking at ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN and MSNBC

Kosovo depressed me, China scares me

Y2K is coming to get me

And all I see when I turn on my local news TV is the newest remedy

For me to cure my case of my HIV

Or Syphyllis or Herpes, because 20% of Americans have it

So you know that means me

I look at the world pesimistically

And I discovered it looks the same right back at me

The world is out to get me

Salesmen try to jerk me, drunk drivers aiming their cars at me

And high school nerds are trying to hurt me

I don't eat beef, because the government laces it chemically

But I can admit I'm addicted to chicken

The steroid-enhanced original white meat

An Arab killed an Israli, an Indian a Pakistani

A cop killed a homeless lady in Cincinnati

Is it just me or is the world really that crazy

That I can't even go to the mall

To get myself a pair of new Nikes

Cause someone might rob me on my way out of Starbuck's coffee

Here you go man it's just a latte and my money

I'll I got is a buck-thirty

But you know they'll take it all according to TV

And it's negativity

Last night on TV I saw death and disease

I saw rape and conspiracy

I saw shit I hoped would never happen to me

I saw kids with no feet and kids with no teeth living poverty

And complete misery. I also saw a new high on Wall Street

More money made today than ever in history

But none was giving to me or those kids that preceded

Fuck the media and be wary of your local news stories on TV

Stop being blinded

Stop being metally sleighed with this nickel and dime shit

We don't have to be reminded

Cause if you search for yourself then the truth is where you find it

Stop being blinded

Stop being metally sleighed with this nickel and dime shit

We don't have to be reminded

Cause if you search for yourself then the truth is where you find it
