Black Comedy - Sum Of All Shit lyrics
Your rating:
Well it never ceases to amaze Exalt the splendors of the music industry Let entertainment value come to the fore Sit down and get mind-fucked by the shit on MTV And here we lie, in a state of perpetual calm Eyes wide shut, as addicts we keep suckling on Take in whole the full range of promiscuity Force fed notions of fervent superficiality Control is the keyÂ… forever hail the youth of apathy Minds cut short of dealing with complexities Meaningless shows designed to induce complacency So sell! So sell! [Chorus:] We let ourselves play as fools Our brains turned into dumping sites Tell us how we must conform in order to feel a belonging right I feel this burning desire to see this industry cleansed with fire To be rebuilt with new ambitions and rid of its pitiful inclinations Rectify? Cannot reverse the process now So effectively our eyes have been blinded by snow Wannabes, pimps, whores sell themselves incessantly What ever happened to artistic integrity? Standard recipe of successÂ… Just add some bling-bling, glam and sex So-called artists lined-up to be the next big superstar Just need to label their antics as a newfound art form Enjoy! Enjoy! [Chorus] Sell out? Appeal to the most basic conceptions of our imagination Sell out? Fuck intellectual audacity if it doesn't make the bucks So seamless and effortless the pipers lead on the fools No need to contest the fact, the companies supply the tools Yes, MTV shall be the proponent of our newborn reality Add it up and try to make sense The sum of all shit! [Chorus]
