Program - Living Colour

We’re living like the programmed

Like tv’s our reality

We can’t escape the program

They only show us what they want us to see

Sitting in my easy chair

I’m barely breathing

Back against the wall

You lay it on me heavy

Like a, like a

Like a new whipping boy

I am the program

On the big screen

He’s gonna use me, use me up

And it’s a limited time offer with no guarantee

I’m just a sucker in this scheme

We’re living like the programmed

Like tv’s our reality

We can’t escape the program

They only show us what they want us to see

Made me insensitive

My world, my face

Don’t care how you feel

The latest gossip and the buzz online

You take up all my time

I can say what I want

Unidentified

I don’t care how you feel

It’s my agenda

I do what I want, do what I want

I don’t care who I offend

Yo I got authority hatred

Cause probably the majority is racist

Against the minority races

For the problems to be resolved

Then the races

Gonna take more than the march of Washington

State of Al Sharpton debates

Cops always harass the brothers

They like clorox bleach

Good for whites, bad for colors

So when they ask to search us

I get nervous

Cause Mike Brown was shot down

By the people hired to protect and service

Went from the lightning into a dark zone

Millions of dumb people walkin' around with a smart phone

Everybody dressing the same as y’all clones

Like we’re wearing a uniform

Being unique is as rare as a unicorn

Refuse to do the norm

And just accept yourself

Stop trying to be like everybody else

Accept yourself

You free your mind you do anything that you wish to

Ignorance is bliss I refuse to be blissful, mad

I can’t wait till it’s over

I can’t take no more

Got me runnin' in circles

Gotta get you outta my head

Gotta get you outta my head

Play it!
