Television, Drug of the Nation

Television, the Drug of the Nation - a song from the Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy (Michael Franti, 1991). Lyrics: One nation under God has turned into one nation under the influence of one drug. [Chorus:] Television, the drug of the nation, breeding ignorance and feeding radiation. (2x) TV, its satellite links a United States of unconsciousness. Apathetic, therapeutic and extremely addictive. The methadone metronome pumping out 150 channels 24 hours a day. You can flip through all of them and still, there's nothing worth watching. TV is the reason why less than 10% of our nation reads books daily, why most people think Central America means Kansas, socialism means un-American, and apartheid is a new headache remedy. Absorbed in its world it's so hard to find us. It shapes our mind the most. Maybe the mother of our nation should remind us that we're sitting too close to the [Chorus:] Television, the drug of the Nation, breeding ignorance and feeding radiation (2x) TV, is it the reflector or the director?

TV is the place where armchair generals and quarterbacks can experience first hand the excitement of video warfare, as a theme song is sung in the background. Sugar sweet sitcoms that leave us with a bad aftertaste, while pop stars metamorphosize into soda pop stars. You saw the video, you heard the soundtrack. Well, now go buy the soft drink! Well, the only cola that I support would be a union C.O.L.A.(Cost Of Living Allowance). [Chorus:] On Television, the drug of the Nation, breeding ignorance and feeding radiation. (2x) Back again, "new and improved," we return to our irregularly programmed schedule, hidden cleverly between heavy breasted beer and car commercials. CNN ESPN ABC BCB TNT, but mostly BS Where oxymoronic language like "virtually spotless," "fresh frozen," "light yet filling" and "military intelligence" have become standard. TV is the place where phrases are redefined, like "recession" to "necessary downturn," "crude oil" on a beach to "mousse," "civilian deaths" to "collateral damages," and being killed by your own army is now called "friendly fire."
