Flux Of Pink Indians – T.V. Dinners lyrics

Violence on t.v., violence on the news
Reality and fiction both served up neatly to keep us all amused
Reality and fiction have both become the same
Instead of facing the facts we search for new scapegoats to blame

The time has come to stop sitting back
To say "no, we've taken enough of this crap
Violence isn't acceptable in any form
So let's work together to make peace the norm"

The blame lies not within the system
The blame lies not with the state
The blame lies not within religion
We've all learned to love to hate
It lies within each and every one of us

The time has come to stop sitting back
To say "no, we've taken enough of this crap
Violence isn't acceptable in any form
So let's work together to make peace the norm"

A society fed on violent shit
Will go out on the streets
And start to re-enact
Fighting, muggings, sexual assaults
Become part of the everyday scene
People acting out what they have seen on the t.v. screen

The time has come to stop sitting back
To say "no, we've taken enough of this crap
Violence isn't acceptable in any form
So let's work together to make peace the norm"

The time has come to change
Before it's too late
Because when we drop the bombs
There will be no one left to love or hate

The time has come to stop sitting back
To say "no, we've taken enough of this crap
Violence isn't acceptable in any form
So let's work together to make peace the norm"
