Off
He looks at the screen and he likes what he sees.
Superficial images that, "Make his life complete."
When he's had enough he just flips a switch.
He'll grow no smarter, yet he'll become "Rich."
Electrons penetrate his mind he cannot think.
He believes everything he sees.
And as he turns it off the mist begins to clear.
His god is his T.V.
No joke. No riddle.
Not laughing cause I'm not tickled.
No rhyme. Or reason. All success, but there's no meaning.
Ignorance is the machine that got it started first.
Man or woman, color, race it doesn't pick a worst.
Even though we know it kills we stare at it all day.
Our defensive skills are slowly crumbling away.
Take my life into your hands.
Give it to somebody else.
Someone who understands.
Apagado
Él mira la pantalla y le gusta lo que ve.
Imágenes superficiales que, 'Hacen completa su vida'.
Cuando ha tenido suficiente, simplemente cambia un interruptor.
No se volverá más inteligente, pero se volverá 'rico'.
Los electrones penetran su mente y no puede pensar.
Él cree todo lo que ve.
Y al apagarlo, la niebla comienza a despejarse.
Su dios es su T.V.
Sin broma. Sin acertijo.
No me río porque no estoy divertido.
Sin rima. Sin razón. Todo éxito, pero no hay significado.
La ignorancia es la máquina que lo puso en marcha primero.
Hombre o mujer, color, raza, no elige al peor.
Aunque sabemos que mata, lo miramos todo el día.
Nuestras habilidades defensivas se están desmoronando lentamente.
Toma mi vida en tus manos.
Dásela a otra persona.
Alguien que entienda.
