The Synchronized Dumbing Down of America

Sit back, relax 
Everything will be fine
Enjoy what you see on T.V.
Forget the daily grind

We're here so you'll feel better
Make it all alright
Use the slightest bit of truth
We do it all the time

No need to concern yourself
With the government's affairs
What you don't know want hurt you
If your left unaware

We'll tell you who it is you are
And what it is that you should think
Don't pay attention to the other guy
He ain't like you and me

What he says is mumbo jumbo  
Not like the elite that are in the know
He'll upset the apple cart
If you let him take control

So hold on tightly to your chains
You're in for the ride of your life
Who's going to pay for this loony trip
It'll come out of your hide

There's no need to concern yourself
With the government's affairs
What you don't know want hurt you
If your left unaware...

It has a lot of names and none are flattering. I never watch news on the TV except for the BBC and Asia Today. Nice write Mike!
