Time After Time

Toxik


Time to understand 
How my mind's been altered 
To see what they want me to see 
How the truth's been filtered 
After all I've seen, so many die - die! 
Living life through the screen, a life that is just a lie 
And the preacher who said he was pure 
And the false tears that stain the screen 
When he's caught with his favorite whore 

Time after time 
All my thoughts are implanted 
time after time 
All my views have been slanted 

A source of all the answers 
A cause of animosity 
Drugs and sex, tonight on Geraldo 
A morbid curiosity 

After all I've seen so many die - die! 
I've seen our president telling lie after lie 
And there's third world news everyday 
A hunger for freedom that's needed today 

Time and time again we see 
The cycle continues 
Programming designed to drain 
The soul that's within you 

After all I've seen so many die - die! 
Searching for the pot of gold 
Praying to the dollar sign 

We could turn black and white to gray 
But the bigotry and ignorance just won't go away 
Save the children on a distant shore 
When they're starving and homeless dying at our door 

Time after time 
Took my mind for granted 
Time after time 
My free will is abandoned 
Time after time 
All my thoughts are implanted 
Time after time - all my views
