lyrics

Verse

People, some say don’t notice,
What life is all about,
Prefer to block it out.

Too set, with all their focus,
on mainstream media,
don’t care 'bout Syria.

Rap

They focus on themselves chasin' imaginary wealth,
Shun their family, their friends and their good health.
I'm not a sleepy profit, but I want to stop it.
No need to ostracise just open up their eyes.

Chorus

When will they learn.
that there’s more to life?
Too stressed to discern,
that their world’s in strife.
It’s all about their image, money, watching the TV,
Keeping masses ignorant, powerless, un-free.

Verse (Rap)

You go to university and work right up until you're 70, big debt!
Don't get up so set.
Good for the e-con-conomy not society,
Be content 'cause we're the ninety ninety ninety nine percent.

Verse

People, some say don’t notice,
what life is all about,
prefer to block it out

Too set, with all their focus,
on mainstream media,
don’t care about Syria.

Chorus

When will they learn.
that there’s more to life?
Too stressed to discern,
that their world’s in strife.
It’s all about their image, money, watching the TV,
Keeping masses ignorant, powerless, un-free.

Bridge

When we go, materials remain.
Leave your legacy, it won’t be left in vein.
People endlessly get held back by their chain.
Use your brain, don't refrain, ascertain, you're not insane!?

Chorus

When will they learn.
that there’s more to life?
Too stressed to discern,
that their world’s in strife.
It’s all about their image, money, watching the TV,
Keeping masses ignorant, powerless, un-free.
