about

This is a 10-minute song done on purpose to tell a long story. The narrator is Henri Garroux a professor at Mac University in Hamilton. Henri made a podcast called Disposable Youth, which Focused sampled as the hooks to break up the song into three different sounding styles. The flute is played by Wayne Neon and glues the three tracks together to make a seamless story for the listener.

lyrics

Celebrity sedation internet cessation
Successfully slated into cognitive enslavement
Censored information for your consideration
Scudded truth debated divided into cages
Transfix the nation into fear greed and hatred
Prescriptions equipping patience
Emotions making papers
Fragrance for the vagrant
Vacant flavor faking vagrants
Embracing displacement blame
On all your local stations
The CIA created and the war on mind is slavery
A pill for the lazy and a pill for the crazy
Chemtrails on the daily and the pills will make you hazy
So medicate your problem
Big pharm starts alarming
Arming your brain with DSM fucking garbage
Comfortably numbing blocking problems
Drastic tactics and dramatic geriatrics
Distraction bandits
While commercializing habits


Short wave voltage
Penetrate with pulses
Gradient nerve cell
Prefrontal cortex
Psychotropic doses suicidal vortex
Cranium exploring with allures of endorphins
Illusions of grandeur followed by emotions
Portions of profits looking for endorsements
Over dose promotions over kill proportions
Millions of deaths still to be recorded
Tasteless in Seattle with the toothless eating apple
Puppet masters prescribing oxycodone Prozac Valium
Just ask your doctor to evaluate your values
The passion into action
Addicted to the static
Triggered off with electric plastic havoc
Attack of the ad hoc accumulating too much static
Clutter in the attic



Pick up the phone I would love to hear your voice
Quick memories makes me rejoice
Been awhile and I apologize for not being in touch
Time racing by didn't mean to rush
I heard you had a kid and that's wonderful news
Just to heard your point of view would cure anybody's blues
So easy to lost in this merry go round
There's no time for family that's what's breaking us down
I heard you sense your screaming for relief
It's time to tackle the dirty work and roll up our sleeves
We need more compassion
Need more relaxing
Slow down the money chasing it's got me taxing
No text message I want to hear your laugh
About the stories time we burned the whole stash
Trying to find some time on this grind
Missing my friends and feeling sublime

I forgive you and know about those issues
Let's talk about it we just blood and tissue
Heal each other reach out touch a brother
Tell your sister you miss her tell your mother you love her
This is no reason this is everyday of the season
Big shout out to all the dads giving us a reason
A grown man stepped up and help the young lad
Give the youth a chance and put it right in their hands

Give the youth a chance and put it right in their hands

Give the youth a chance and put it right in their hands

Give the youth a chance and put it right in their hands

I was only 17 I was only 17
Couldn't tell me a God dam thing

I was only 17 I was only 17
Couldn't tell me a God dam thing

I was only 17 I was only 17
Couldn't tell me a God dam thing
