Lyrics

Silver Screen

I see them up on the screen

We all listen but they don't say anything

They look so pretty and free

But we can think when we are unplugged from the machine

What a display

We can’t look away

From the ones who get paid

To stand on the stage

And the people all watch

Sit and witness in silence

I get my own thoughts

I don’t need to be taught

They don’t know what I want

They can’t have what I’ve got

I get my own thoughts

I don’t need to be taught

They don’t know what I want

They can’t have what I’ve got

We can choose what we see on the silver screen

We don’t need this

Turn it off, we won’t eat all the lies they feed

Watch what frees us

We can choose what we see on the silver screen

We don’t need this

Turn it off, we won’t eat all the lies they feed

Watch what frees us

We can choose what we see on the silver screen

We don’t need this

Turn it off, we won’t eat all the lies they feed

Watch what frees us

What a display

We can’t look away

From the ones who get paid

To stand on the stage

And the people all watch

Sit and witness in silence

I get my own thoughts

I don’t need to be taught

They don’t know what I want

They can’t have what I’ve got

I get my own thoughts

I don’t need to be taught

They don’t know what I want

They can’t have what I’ve got
