Lyrics

[Intro: Scarface, Interviewer] To see, a black rock band, like [Imitates the riff of "Cult of Personality"] Who the fuck was this, man? [Continues to imitate the riff of "Cult of Personality"] Man, who in the fuck is this fucking group, man? What year you talking? 90's Living Colour? Who? Living Colour? Living fucking Colour, Living fucking Colour Find me another-, find me another black rock band Fishbone, Mos Def tried to do a rock band Find me another rock band, seriously [Chorus 1] We're living like we're programmed Like TV's our reality We can't escape the program They only show us what they want us to see [Verse 1] Sitting in my easy chair I'm barely breathing Back against the wall (Back against the wall) You lay it on me heavy Like I'm, like I'm Like I'm your whipping boy I am the program On the big screen He's gonna use me, use me up And it's a limited time offer with no guarantee I'm just a sucker in this scheme [Chorus 2] We're living like we're programmed Like TV's our reality We can't escape the program They only show us what they want us to see [Verse 2] Made me insensitive My world, my face Don't care how you feel The latest gossip and the buzz online You take up all my time I can say what I want Unidentified I don't care how you feel It's my agenda I do what I want, do what I want I don't care who I offend [Interlude/Guitar Solo] Yeah, matter fact Yeah, let's get into it Check it [Bridge: Corey Glover] Yo, I got authority hatred 'Cause probably the majority's racist Against the minority races For the problems to be resolved in the races It's gonna take more than the march on Washington State of Al Sharpton debates Cops always harass the brothers They like Clorox bleach Good for whites, bad for colors So when they ask to search us, I get nervous 'Cause Mike Brown was shot down By the people hired to protect and serve us Went from the light an' into a dark zone Millions of dumb people, walkin' 'round with a smart phone Everybody dressin' the same as y'all clones Like we wearin' a uniform Bein' unique is rare as a unicorn Refuse to do the norm, and just accept yourself Stop tryna be like everybody else, except yourself You free your mind, you do anything that you wish to Ignorance is bliss, I refuse to be blissful, mad [Interlude] I can't wait till it's over I can't take no more Got me runnin' in circles Got to get you out my head Get you out my head Play it! [Outro: Newsreader] [?] The US is now offficially in an information battle The days of media monopoly are over We are in an information war And we are losing that war I'll be very blunt in my assessment
