A Global Threat: "Channel 4" Lyrics

back and forth, t.v. 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) foreigh policies

 get off the bus, walk through the door, a latchkey kid alone

 the t.v. 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

 t.v. dinners, fat with pride and thinking we are winning

 watch for our prosperity

 watch for our economy

 watch us die on t.v.

 watch us kill humanity

 back and forth, t.v. 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 into channel 4
