The Comrades: "Can't You See"

Written by Jimmy Williams and Greg Matwijiszyn, 1995.

Kept well informed of the vapid, fact-less news
Stifling what you already know is true
Circus of sound bites we easily digest
Somatic bliss of our thinking at rest

Can't you see they're painting us a picture
Can't you see they're altering the truth
Can't you see they're masters of deception

Intravenous injection of sitcom serendipity
Baseless illusion of what your life should be
Sugar junkies lapping up the sweetened coating
Systematic anesthesia keeps our minds floating

Can't you see they're painting us a picture
Can't you see they're altering the truth
Can't you see they're masters of deception

Too contented to bother asking questions
Path of least resistance leads to oblivion
The corporate mogul's stranglehold must be broken
Free up the media so truth is freely spoken

Can't you see they're painting us a picture
Can't you see they're altering the truth
Can't you see they're masters of deception

Can't you see, can't you see, can't you see, can't you see (etc.)
