Citizen Fish

The sovereign insincerity the monopoly of greed
Nickelback and P.O.D. and Brittany and creed
The beaurocrats theyre leaching on to mediocre trends
Your song in heavy rotation from the cash your label spends
From the products you promote to the ones who fit the bill
A pre-fabricated goosestep for the pockets that you fill
The monotony of censored products shine in the display
The same old song of compromise went platinum today
From town and town and state to state
The same old song you love to hate
The same shit stacked up on your plate
Rotate again and syndicate
Weve been waiting for too long
To change the band to change the song
Through every day from dusk till dawn
Weve been brainwashed - sing along
No difference the hot new single
And Pepsi ads commercial jingle
The beautys withered faded crinkle
Just sip the coke and pop the pringle
The boardroom is the dragons lair
They play us shit cos they dont care
The clearest channel plays unfair
And we all want you off the air
Overdose on shoddy culture mediocre trends
Autotune the bottom line as a means to meet the ends
Merging corporate empires create the ill conglomerations
And buy up to reprogram major market radio stations
Fabricate one single voice broadcast from sea to sea
What once held ideas of change and choice now being controlled fully
Deregulations raised the edge of exploitations bar
Politics replaced by bling and clothes and fancy cars
Trapped imaginations from the videos burning light
Bombarded by monotony that captivates the sight
The channel weve been tuned to is all frigid blank and clear
Told what to eat and drink and buy and who to hate and fear
Poisoned by the fairytale of a capitalistic dream
Go to sleep youre free and brave and on the winning team
[ Clear Channel (Fuck Off!) Lyrics ]
