The Idiot Box Lyrics by Shadows Fall

The Art of Balance

2002

[Verse 1]
Staring forward with vacant eyes
Imagination cannot survive
Misinformation and compromise
These televised conditioned lies

[Pre-Chorus]
Create a system of belief
Heartless purveyors of deceit

[Chorus]
Seems clear to me you've never known me
Doubt everything you've ever shown me

[Verse 2]
Images flash by in waves
What to buy and what you'll save
All the products that you never craved
You've become another slave

[Pre-Chorus]
Create a system of belief
Heartless purveyors of deceit

[Chorus]
Seems clear to me you've never known me
Doubt everything you've ever shown me

[Post-Chorus]
All the lies that you told
I will not be bought or sold
I won't fit into your mold
I will not be bought or sold

[Bridge]
Rise! And break away from the system
Rise! And crush the voices in your head
Rise!

[Guitar solo]

[Post-Chorus]
All the lies that you told
I will not be bought or sold
I won't fit into your mold
I will not be bought or sold

[Outro]
I want back what you stole from me!
