Lyrics
We have to stop consuming our culture
We have to create culture
Don't watch TV
Don't read magazines
Don't even listen to NPR
Create your own road show
The nexus of space and time
Where you are now
Is the most immediate sector of your universe
And if you're worrying about
Michael Jackson or Bill Clinton or somebody else
Then you're dissempowered
You're giving it all away to icons
Icons which are maintained by an electronic media
So that you want to dress like X or have lips like Y, or some-
This is shit-brained this kind of thinking
That is all cultural diversion
And what is real is you
And your friends and your associations
Your highs, your orgasms
Your hopes, your plans, and your fears
And we're told no
We're unimportant, we're peripheral
Get a degree, get a job
Get a this, get a that
And then you're a player
You don't even want to play in that game
You want to reclaim your mind
And get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers
Who want to turn you into a half-baked moron
Consuming all this trash that's being manufactured out of the bones of a dying world
Where is that at
Writer(s): Jonathon Francis Deiley, Nic Edward Pettersen
