Shrink Rap

from Imminent Light by The OM Sound

/

lyrics

Take an honest look at yourself, you can't fool me;
You're a product, carbon copy from the advertising pedigree.
If you can't see it from the clothes on your shelf, show-and-tell,
Top-40 trash you're listening to will sell you out.
Manufactured, repetitive, soulless propaganda,
Hypnotizing and mind-numbing with every single stanza.
If only it was as simple as rolling you up in Shrink Rap,
Let these words suffocate the brainwashing of all these pathetic contra-bands.
But it isn't that easy - every individual has to make a choice,
Take full responsibility, and listen to the wisdom of the wisdom of the wisdom of that inner voice.
And with the inundations from all the media stations, self-contemplation becomes a tribulation.
Take stock of where you get your information and then study it, till it's just second nature.
It's time to take back these radio-active stations:
Freedom fighter surgeons and the airwaves are the patient.
Cutting out the cancer with the truth, discrimination.
True independence: Self-realization.

Life is a movie, and this ain't Hollywood.
Life is a movie, and this ain't Bollywood.
This is the age of the spray-on-tan;
Got talent? Nah, got looks, you're in demand.
Life is a movie, and this ain't Hollywood.
Life is a movie, and this ain't Bollywood.
This is the age of the spray-on-tan;
Got talent? Nah, got looks, you're in the band.

Take comfort in the number of people deconstructed:
Every single soul coveted yet uncontrolled and understood.
Nah, we weren't put here to bear a heavy burden;
With every time we lift
It builds more strength to quell the hurtin'.
I'm certain. Keep pulling on the thread of the curtain,
Pretty soon the whole thing'll unravel and leave
Nothing but the "lite" version of the universe -
One pace closer to Self-immersion.
Step one: Unplug from the drug
Of this slow-paced sleeper, constantly flooding,
Misinformation giving news thug.
Sweep that shit back under the rug.
Sure, it's wise to be aware, but take care,
Thoughts are things, and fair.
The more that you imagine, the more that you imagine,
the like that you ensnare.
Step two: Make the decision
With precision and unwavering volition.
Envision your division - cognition -
And then put in the request for your recision.
Step three: Believe and never concede.
Listen, learn, and proceed with the mission you've received.
Indeed it's a défi, but you've got energy unique.
Conquer, then repeat.
