A Global Threat - Channel 4 lyrics

Back and forth, TV to school There's not much else you know They're the only things that feed you what you think You need to grow In the meantime, Washington's concerned with overseas Establishing (through corporate interest) foreign policies Get off the bus; walk through the door, a latchkey kid alone The TV is on as soon as you set foot in your home Today is different; news is on instead of normal shows When I was younger, Persian Gulf Now kids see Kosovo U.S. Army, Channel 4 How can you trust anyone who's televised a war? Oil, power, Channel 3 There's entertainment value in the military Investors increase profit margin; networks boost their ratings Protest turns to celebration and disapproval is fading Thousands die, but war is profit; America is grinning TV dinners, fat with pride and thinking we are winning Watch for our prosperity Watch for our economy Watch us die on TV Watch us k** humanity Back and forth, TV to school There's not much else you know They're the only things that feed you what you think You need to grow So if you want your kids to learn the morals of modern war Then sit them down at home and they'll tune in to Channel 4
