Transmission Overload
by Jersey D GibsonThere is nothing wrong with your television set
There is nothing wrong with this noise
We control the vertical, the horizontal
We control all that you hear.
There is nothing wrong with your job site
There is nothing wrong with your pay
We control the drones, the buzz
We control all that you hold dear.
There is nothing wrong with your life
There is nothing wrong with control
We control your being, your freedom
We control all that you do.
There is nothing wrong with the planet today
There is nothing wrong with our policies
We control the in, the out
We control all that is true.
Behind the scene, the static, the pollution
did you get lost in the chaos?
Like a puzzle, a riddle, a clue
we're just another mystery to solve.
In this breath, this word, this sound
we make most of what you hear.
Like a paradigm, a truth, a commandment
we're just another voice to obey.
