lyrics

Radio question out of the blue
how could things in the world improve?
at 5 years old he knew the score
'people should concentrate more'
well profound that, wrote it down that
the world needs more of kids like this
unconditioned witnesses
to the fast and futile world of- showbiz
instant distant thought-resistant
waves of human entertainment
see its free
for the cost of a lobotomy

CH:
Focus gone where does it belong
Get that switch back up and on
dont wanna lose my concentration
hurry to the next one big one get one free
its saturation

Help you sir? yes tell me matey
what since fuck knows when til lately
made the world such a messed up place?
we all forgot to concentrate
switch goes down and the brain rewinding
back to a place where you can't find me
locked in a room of my own resistance
alienation needs assistance

[CH]

What gets told and taught
is bought and sold as truth, but lies
in a cloud of ads and fads and madness
all gets nullified
knowledge and taste it all gets wasted
concentration's what you crave its
the world crying out to its own excess
where's the peace and where's the progress?
how come it feels
like there's none of it left?
how many times
before the button gets pressed?
its never too late let's concentrate on
keeping our heads on too many time bombs
boom and its all distraction
drive you mental interaction
