'Open Your Eyes'

Actually, a corny song, complete with campy theatrics.

But then, with the level of political ignorance among today's youth, old Stiv might've been onto something.

The Lords of the New Churchs, "Open Your Eyes."


Video games train the kids for war. Army chic in high-fashion
stores.

Law and order's done their job. Prisons filled while
the rich still rob.

Assassination politics. Violence rules
within' our nation's midst.

Well ignorance is their power tool. You'll only know what they want you to know.

The television cannot lie. Controlling media with smokescreen eyes.

They play a politician's picture show. The acting's lousy but the blind don't
know.

They scare us all with threats of war. So we forget
just how bad things are.

You taste the fear when you're all
alone. They gonna git'cha when you're on your own.

The silence
of conspiracy. Slaughtered on the altar of apathy.

You gotta
wake up from your sleep. 'Cause meek inherits earth...six feet
deep.

Open your eyes see the lies right in front of ya.

Open your eyes...
