Time to understand

How my mind's been altered

To see what they want me to see

How the truth's been filtered ____ [lyric sheet has a blank underline]

After all I've seen, so many die - die!

Living life through the screen, a life that is just a lie

And the preacher who said he was pure

And the false tears that stain the screen

When he's caught with his favorite whore



Chorus

Time after time

All my thoughts are implanted

time after time

All my views have been slanted



A source of all the answers

A cause of animosity

Drugs and sex, tonight on Geraldo

A morbid curiosity



After all I've seen so many die - die!

I've seen our president telling lie after lie

And there's third world news everyday

A hunger for freedom that's needed today



Chorus



Solo



Time and time again we see

The cycle continues

Programming designed to drain

The soul that's within you



After all I've seen so many die - die!

Searching for the pot of gold

Praying to the dollar sign



We could turn black and white to gray

But the bigotry and ignorance just won't go away

Save the children on a distant shore

When they're starving and homeless dying at our door



Tkime after time

Took my mind for granted

Time after time

My free will is abandoned

Time after time

All my thoughts are implanted

Time after time - all my views
