See More Perspective - Counter Clockwork Orange

Sex will be televised
You ain't gotta analyze
It ain't hard to identify
It's a rule handed down and we don't defy
If you look you'll find it's contributin' to genocide
It's on the radio and airwaves
It's in the static when your hair raise
It goes straight to the back of your brain if you don't intercept
Only a keystroke away on the internet
It ain't speakin' to your better judgment
Deep in our psychology and callin' out from dungeons
It isn't wrong, but it's just locked up
So the message is askew and that's just fucked up
I said it isn't wrong, but it's just locked up
So the message is askew and that's just fucked up

Sex will be televised
In the air centralized
In your set emphasized
In the story specified
Specialized
Til it suits and you recognize
Mechanized til we accept it and desensitize
It's in your hair and your hair gel
It's in the air if you care to if you prepare well
Some people need to feel it just to feel alive
You'll find it in bold letters and in between the lines
Doesn't matter the subject it's in the subtext
On repeat til it's memorized, what's next
Forced down your throat you'll be asked not to swallow
Up to your eyes as you'll told not to wallow

Sex will be televised
Sex will be televised
Sex will be televised
Sex will be televised

It turns to the left, counter clockwork orange
It's regret in the morn, it's a nocturne scorned
It's a fuse in our timeline
Passin' in silence
Bombs goin' off
Slow motion beside us
Desperation for connection
Wet lips on a screen
A tongue in a mind chokes throat with it's screams
It's never good enough
It's better
It's the best
It's the first one that's believed in the chest
It's a putdown
It's a foot on the neck
It's a weight in your gut
It's a kick in the back
It's too small
Too fat
Too tall
Too skinny
Ain't what it is when it is what it's really
Is what it isn't cuz it's sick and abused
It ain't what it is cuz it's sick and confused

Sex will be televised
Sex will be televised
Sex will be televised
Sex will be televised
