Sedated

Diverting conversations
Subverting inspiration
With the mere regurgitation
Of the one-way information
On the screen

Consuming with resistance
Assuming moral distance
While we lap up the insistence
That the next
Will be the best
We've ever seen

Plug me in - Turn me on - So aware
So captivated
Plug me in - Turn me on - So aware
We've been sedated

Diversion into caution
The assertion of importance
Made a promise of reluctance
To be following instructions
All the time

The message came in slices
In between the current crisis
Now opinions are divided
By the power of advertising
It's sublime

Plug me in - Turn me on - So aware
So captivated
Plug me in - Turn me on - So aware
We've been sedated

Plug me in - Turn me on - So aware
So captivated
Plug me in - Turn me on - So aware
We've been sedated
