DC the Midi Alien - Technology Takeover lyrics

[Intro: George Carlin] This country's finished, it's been sliding downhill a long time And everybody's got a cellphone that makes pancakes, so they don't want to make any trouble *Granite State* [Verse 1] The air is thick, I'm wearing thin And so much sh** going on I don't know where to begin Society's ill, we know that the government's corrupt, we know that The questions is: "how to control that?" They got us programmed and socially networked Think of who's seeing all your emails and texts first And no one communicates face-to-face We're all depending on Facebook, blogs, and Myspaces Kids committing suicide for something as small There's a rumour on the internet, that couldn't resolve And I watch as a whole generation free-falls To a digital d**h we've all come to accept This wild world of poison, I'm caught in its web It got in my head and I just want to disconnect Cause until we start avoiding this automated noise We'll be autotuned out till there's nothing left [Hook x2: Granite State] What have we become? It's out of my hands, it's out of control I've gone numb, out of my mind, it's over What have we become? It's out of my mind, it's out of control I've gone numb, t-t-technology is taking over [Verse 2] What the hell they letting kids watch now? And apologize for later when no one is around I know it sounds harmless, right? But look at the truth You sticking guns in their face, robbing them of their youth It's nothing to lose a million dollars breaking the law If your ratings go up and haters wanna see more This is media war, how the rich control the poor But the clicker's in your hand, so who's really at the core Of the problem? To the fox I play possum Wait for my chance, then I strike like boxing I ain't like talking, people never listen Advertising everywhere, I call it sella-vision Who the f** are y'all kidding? This is planetary prison Every single one of us no matter what your skin in No matter where you're living, your god or what you're giving It's time to put the shovel down and think of why you're digging [Verse 3] And not a secret anymore, it's all put on blast And fifteen seconds of fame is Youtube trash But this necessary evil that we go through Is the first and only option that we go to In the information age we're caught in the haze The talking heads, walking dead, living what they say Ain't nothing gonna change until we change our frame of mind We're consumed with doom to fold in or die [Outro: George Carlin] Power does what it wants and now they just put it right out front and say this is what we're doing to you, folks. People have been bought off by gizmos and toys in this country and no one questions things anymore [Hook x2: Granite State] [Outro: DC the MIDI Alien & Esoteric] *Avengers Radio Call and you're on the air* *Yo, it's Esoteric, what up?* *Eyo what's poppin' E? Yo thanks for taking care of them security guards for us dawg* *Yeah I got these guys handcuffed man, it's nothing, I'm right outside* *Word up. I'm about to drop this Soldiers/Survivors joint on 'em* *Word up* *We catch you on the way out man, have that get-away car ready for us aight?* *No doubt* *Word. Soldiers/Survivors on Avengers Radio, let's do it!*
