Silver Screen

I see them up on the screen
We all listen but they don't say anything
They look so pretty and free
But we can think when we are unplugged from the machine

What a display
We can’t look away
From the ones who get paid
To stand on the stage

And the people all watch
Sit and witness in silence

I get my own thoughts (I get my own thoughts)
I don’t need to be taught (I don’t need to be taught)
They don’t know what I want (They don’t know what I want)
They can’t have what I’ve got (They can’t have what I’ve got)

I get my own thoughts (I get my own thoughts)
I don’t need to be taught (I don’t need to be taught)
They don’t know what I want (They don’t know what I want)
They can’t have what I’ve got (They can’t have what I’ve got)

We can choose what we see on the silver screen
We don’t need this
Turn it off, we won’t eat all the lies they feed
Watch what frees us

We can choose what we see on the silver screen
We don’t need this
Turn it off, we won’t eat all the lies they feed
Watch what frees us

We can choose what we see on the silver screen
We don’t need this
Turn it off, we won’t eat all the lies they feed
Watch what frees us

What a display
We can’t look away
From the ones who get paid
To stand on the stage

And the people all watch
Sit and witness in silence

I get my own thoughts (I get my own thoughts)
I don’t need to be taught (I don’t need to be taught)
They don’t know what I want (They don’t know what I want)
They can’t have what I’ve got (They can’t have what I’ve got)

I get my own thoughts (I get my own thoughts)
I don’t need to be taught (I don’t need to be taught)
They don’t know what I want (They don’t know what I want)
They can’t have what I’ve got (They can’t have what I’ve got)
