"Generation Zombie"

The world is war torn, devastated and molested
But who really cares because Justin Bieber got arrested
We care more about what will become an ESPN classic
Than the fact that the world's going to hell in a hand basket
Can't you see that the media is just misdirection?
Keeping you confused and docile while pouring salt in the infection

Wake up
You better before it's too late
Wake up
For God's sake, what's it gonna take?

Generation zombie
You're the meat for the great grinder
Could you really be any blinder?
Generation zombie
Is history not a persistent reminder?
The next phase will not be any kinder

U.S. is going under but it's okay 'cause Mr. Football gets to play
Years of subtle manipulation has made us all this way
Rather turn a blind eye and celebrate who won American Idol
Than search out the facts and learn things that are vital

Wake up
You better before it's too late
Wake up
For God's sake, what's it gonna take?

Generation zombie
You're the meat for the great grinder
Could you really be any blinder?
Generation zombie
Is history not a persistent reminder?
The next phase will not be any kinder

iPhone, spy zone, who has their eyes on
You and me?
TSA abuse, Police State, it's so great
Living so free...

Wake up
You better before it's too late
Wake up
For God's sake, what's it gonna take?

Generation zombie
You're the meat for the great grinder
Could you really be any blinder?
Generation zombie
Is history not a persistent reminder?
The next phase will not be any kinder

Wow! This is seriously good.

I agree with Peter, this is bitter yet so, so true!

This reminds me of Real Problems,a song I wrote when my frustration was at a boiling point.I wrote one song about my disgust about "the way things are"!One.........I thought I said all I had to say on the subject.Now let's talk about subjects that never seem to go away;love,loss and looking for the girls that make us happy.

Thank you Peter Both, thank you Kerri. What can I say Doug, I reckon I have a one track mind. No, seriously. Like tunnel vision. Ha! Thanks for commenting. I'll have to read that song you mention.
