lyrics

Mesmerized by disinformation
Gossip has the upper hand over news
compulsively addicted to the trash TV
Hypnotized and manipulated
The TV screen reflects our emptiness
Killings and kidnappings are just the pretext for a
Sort of reality imposed by a morbid curiosity
Confusing information with entertainment because

Tragedy turned into a show
Another lie to increase the audience
Another drama to draw the attention
And still we keep on gawking
Where the spotlights are on

Day after day we acquire more information
But day after day our knowledge drops
Our level of rationality collapses
Swimming faster than the stream to reach the waterfall
A flood of distractions disabilities our minds
Our capacity for reasoning in now paralyzed
Leaving us indifferent to the facts
That will lead us to ruin
A new episode based on the same old plot
One more criminal to be proclaimed mainstream
24/7 stakeouts to narrate his routine
No way to set it right until we decide to quit

This absurd tendency to spectacularize disgraces
Neglecting victims' feelings so they become victims twice
A hypocrite aestheticization of suffering
They are shaping it like Hollywood, but this is our reality

Danny Trejo

Our brothers: fast-like-there's-no-tomorrow hardcore. Al sang on their record, and Netti sang on our record. Seems legit. ATTEMPTS
