Box Of Tricks

I’ll tell you about the box of tricks, many see it as a friend
It’s illusions and hypnotic powers appear to have no end
You can sit back and lose yourself, abandon all free thought
Just let yourself be open to it’s tricks of many sorts
It will give you information but twist reality
There’s some things it will show but there’s so much that you won’t see
There’s lots of unasked questions, fact and fiction are the same
And the box of tricks is in control as you’re drawn into the game

What happened to our stories and collective creativity
Replaced by mass sedation push button apathy
In this disinformation age we’re prisoners of technology
In the comfort of your armchair believing you’re so free

If you’re feeling lonely on your devotion it will feed
And when you’re feeling empty it will show you what you need
If you’ve lost your identity there’s some ideas it can give
About what will make you happy, the sort of life that you should live
There’s really no alternative that the box of tricks could sell
This is in fact the only way, as all your friends will tell
And the box of tricks gets angry if you choose not to conform
It’s power has no equal in bringing on a storm

What happened to our stories and collective creativity
Replaced by mass sedation push button apathy
In this disinformation age we’re prisoners of technology
In the comfort of your armchair believing you’re so free

You’ll be asked to take a side against the demon of the day
The box of tricks knows people’s fears – with them it will play
Sensational live images of suffering and pain
With wars and disasters it will keep you entertained
Just as much as you need to know it brings the latest news
And if you can’t see what all this means it will help you with your views
But what you learn from the box of tricks can never be left behind
It’s illusions and distortions will be always on your mind

So now you’ve heard this warning are you able to reject
Monoculture uniformity - see the need to disconnect
