Hiding in the shadows and feasting on your minds Never saw it coming, never saw the signs Illuminating darkness – rays of psychic reign Never see it coming – you'll never feel the pain Turned on since childhood now you're a slave Pacified by pleasure - conditioned to obey Descending into collective coma Comfortably dumb – high on apathy Can't live without this electronic soma Turn on – tune in – drop dead God of sedation – god of the truth Curse us with your blessings Subliminal incision – carving without pain Overlords of transmission - ruling in the shadows As you're sleepwalking to the gallows Descending into collective coma Comfortably dumb – high on apathy Can't live without this electronic soma Turn on – tune in – drop dead Conformity – the plague of the modern age The sheeple walk in line – those fools obey Paranoia and fear keep the ratings high Which makes the cash-flow tight Like the noose around your minds Like the blind lead the blind So empty inside From cradle to coffin From casket to ashes All is saved Eternally They saw it all Descending into collective coma Comfortably dumb – high on apathy Can't live without this electronic soma Turn on – tune in – drop dead Say farewell to the times of old It's a brave new world For slaves that never know Sleep forever more
