This is consciousness
This is Kablerium
This is a broadcast
This is a news flash
This is the real world
This is your conscience
This is a sound byte
This is recession
Oh my god, yes
Oh my god, no
So they take this weighted view
Just be glad it isn't you
Work the nine to five, work the nine to five
Twenty hours a day
Seed the sorry eyes, feed the starry eyes
Enough times to say
So they white-out measured words
First it's theirs and then it's yours
Stop the presses now, stop the presses now
The sponsor's pulled
Shut the city down, shut the city down
My room is cold
Oh my god, yes
Oh my god, no
So they take this moral stand
Safe to choose the leading brand
Keep your colors white, keep your colors white
And the rest can fade
Keep your smiles bright, keep your smiles bright
And you'll make it
