Brainwashed - Horizon

As soon as she’s back home she’s gotta turn on the screen

To get her dose of fantasy and forget her daily routine

That’s how she learns what’s in, what’s out, what she must do to be cool

She also learns what she must buy if she doesn’t wanna look like a fool

Her life couldn’t be any different

Filled by all this magic she craves

Entertainment rules !

— Brainwashed — For hours every day

She’s drowned in illusion

'Til her consciousness slips away

— Brainwashed — Out of touch and mesmerized

She’s force fed with data

Leaving no space for thought in her mind

He likes to claim he’s a responsible, well informed citizen

Society, politics, he’s an opinionated man

And since he’s gotta know what’s goin' on all over the planet

He spends a lot of time watching the all-news channels

So proud to live in a land of freedom

No doubt could ever shade his certainty

Democracy rules !

— Brainwashed — For hours every day

He’s drowned in illusion

'Til his consciousness slips away

— Brainwashed — And tricked by a pack of lies

His head’s crammed with data

Leaving no space for thought in his mind

Let’s face it, we’re all prisoners of the system

Dumbed down so that we never realize

Manipulation rules !

— Brainwashed — For hours every day

We’re drowned in illusion

'Til our consciousness slips away

— Brainwashed — To keep our dreams alive

And prevent us from finding out

Who rules from behind

— Brainwashed — Over and over again

In this world of make-believe

Truth would look quite insane

— Brainwashed — Carefree, naive and blind

We’re saturated with data

Leaving no space for thought in our minds
