lyrics

I'm so sick of it
I can't be myself
Stick to your meds,
You TV slave,
But when you fall
„Goodbye, ethanol!“

Feed us distractions
To build up false tensions
Feed us sedatives
If worms are relatives

Quality on its highest level
Journalists around the globe
Half and half or zero and one
Some truth is there but sometimes it's gone
At 8 pm there is no hope
A swarm of scandals - smells like dope
This apathy - it feels like dope

I'm so sick of it
I can't be myself
Stick to your meds,
You TV slave,
But when you fall
„Goodbye, ethanol!“

Turn the TV on
To crash your mind
The great masstainment
Will shape your child
And when it falls
„Hello, ethanol!“

Creative thoughts and abnormal minds
Are turned into lullabies
Maximized dysfunction
By mindless overconsumption

Scripted reality mutilates all teens
Until they can't differentiate between fake and reality
Yeah, please, send us more wannabe celebrities for dumbass shows
They all wanna be remembered even for stereotypical roles

Try to print me like a label
Put me on the surgical table
To make me perfect and oh so famous
That's all I need to be prosperous
Don't wanna hear from you, you hater
You're Buffett's grandson? Call me later!
Wouldn't you wanna wear this lovely dress?
Why don't you grant me my success?

We are sick of it
We can't be ourselves
Blow up your TV
To erase your chains
And when they fall
„Goodbye, ethanol!“

Don't turn the TV on
Don't crash your mind
Avoid the masstainment
Don't abuse your child
And when it falls
Tear down the next wall

And when it falls
Prevent new walls
So they can see who we are
Who we are
Who we are
