Lyrics

Brainwashed Brainwashed
[Verse 1]
Woke up this morning, turned on the news,
A thousand different ways to tell me what to choose.
Coffee in my hand, paranoia in my head,
They told me who to hate before I got out of bed.
By noon I'm angry, by three I'm afraid,
Believing every little lie the talking heads have made.
By dinner I'm convinced the world's about to end,
And everybody living next door is my enemy, not my friend.
[Pre-Chorus]
They sell me fear, they sell me rage,
They're just puppets on the tv stage.
The truth gets buried, the lies get fed,
When The television screams inside your head!
[Chorus]
Brainwashed! Brainwashed!
Morning, noon, and night!
Brainwashed! Brainwashed!
They tell me wrong is right!
Feed me fear, feed me lies,
Keep me scared and hypnotized!
Brainwashed! Brainwashed!
Right before my eyes!
[Verse 2]
Got a hundred different channels, but they all sound the same,
Everybody pointing fingers, everybody placing blame.
There's a crisis every hour, there's a villain every night,
And a millionaire in makeup telling me to pick a fight.
My friends don't wanna see me, my family won't call,
I've got conspiracy theories written on the bedroom wall.
I used to have opinions, now I've got a script instead,
Repeating all the garbage that somebody else has said.
[Pre-Chorus]
They sell me fear, they sell me hate,
I keep watching as they manipulate.
The more I watch, the less I know,
But I can't turn off the orange mans show!
[Chorus]
Brainwashed! Brainwashed!
Morning, noon, and night!
Brainwashed! Brainwashed!
They tell me wrong is right!
Feed me fear, feed me lies,
Keep me scared and hypnotized!
Brainwashed! Brainwashed!
Right before my eyes!
[Bridge – Half-Time, Dark and Menacing]
I wasn't born this angry,
I wasn't born this scared.
I used to love my neighbors,
I used to think they cared.
Now everybody's dangerous,
And everybody lies.
I see the world through someone else's
Manufactured eyes.
Who profits from the madness?
Who benefits from hate?
Who's getting rich while we destroy
The things that made us great?
[Breakdown – Spoken in newscast over radio voice]
BREAKING NEWS!
ANOTHER THREAT!
ANOTHER REASON TO BE UPSET!
STAY AFRAID!
STAY ONLINE!
WE'LL DO THE THINKING!
YOU'LL BE FINE!
BUY THE FEAR!
SWALLOW THE LIES!
WATCH YOUR COMMON SENSE DIE!
[Final Chorus – Double-Time, Gang Vocals]
Brainwashed! Brainwashed!
Morning, noon, and night!
Brainwashed! Brainwashed!
They tell me wrong is right!
Feed me fear, feed me lies,
Keep me scared and hypnotized!
Brainwashed! Brainwashed!
Right before my eyes!
[Outro – Repeated Gang Chant]
Brainwashed! Brainwashed!
Brainwashed! Brainwashed!
Brainwashed! Brainwashed!
Brainwashed! Brainwashed!
Brainwashed! Brainwashed!
