Title: Artificial Highs Post by: Bantu_Kelani on August 05, 2003, 05:00:56 AM Another UNIVERSOUL piece. A real strong message, it is really needed in this time of confusion...
B.K -------- We get high High off of artificial elements that represent the intelligence and evidence of the negligent that control us like slaves Who need us to behave like zombies so that they can continue to rule the masses We are the fools who walk in schools with cell phones Drones who cannot think for ourselves or act alone We get high High of Americana and the drama of the nightly news Scared and confused Abused by the media time after time But we love that high that they send through undetectable waves We are being sent to our graves unknowing and uncaring blind and unkind We get high off of TV ads that drag and brag about big, shiny SUVs flat screen TVs the latest DVDs sexy hunks and bikini wearing hotties on MTV the newest video by such and such on BET who's doing who on "reality TV" but not off of the smiles, the successes, the happiness, and the progression of you and me We're smokin' poison through America's pipe dream Being fed lies as the powers that be continue to scheme While our children die and scream Because they see the truth behind the purple haze that has us in a constant daze But most of them are drugged and silenced by Prozac and Valium Unable to help us shake free from the bondage of artificial highs Christopher D.
