A Global Threat - Channel 4 lyrics

band: a global threat

song: channel 4

back and forth, t.v. to school, there's not much else you know

they're the only things that feed you what you think, you need to grow

in the meantime, washington's concerned with overseas

establishing (through corporate interest) foreigh policies

get off the bus, walk through the door, a latchkey kid alone

the t.v. is on as soon as you set foot in your home

today is different, news is on instead of normal shows

when i was younger, persian gulf. now kids see kosovo

u.s. army, channel 4

how can you trust anyone who's televised a war

oil, power, channel 3

there's entertainment value in the military

investors increase profit margin, networks boost their ratings

protest turns to celebration and disapproval is fading

thousands die, but war is profit america is grinning

t.v. dinners, fat with pride and thinking we are winning

watch for our prosperity

watch for our economy

watch us die on t.v.

watch us kill humanity

back and forth, t.v. to school, there's not much else you know

they're the only things that feed you what you think, you need to grow

so if you want your kids to learn the morals of modern war

then sit them down at home and they'll tune into channel 4
