| In this faltering nation the future belongs | |
| To the children in school, there's something wrong | |
| Sixth grader on crack, handgun overflowing in his hands | |
| Now he is just further demand | |
| We search for the source | |
| And still that child is left watching | |
| Inhumanity, bloodshed | |
| As the tele-violence feeds his head | |
| Only if he knew | |
| The consequence of greed | |
| A conscious state of mind [State of mind...] | |
| T.V. is not reality | |
| State of reality, state of mind | |
| Never a victim the role model said | |
| Bang bang, the bad guy is dead | |
| Always a rockstar on e | |
| Mpty T.V. | |
| The lesson complete | |
| Now the child has needs | |
| Of competition they bleed | |
| Oh beautiful for bills of green | |
| Nevermind spacious skies overhead | |
| Bleed the earth and butter your bread | |
| Only if he knew | |
| The consequence of greed | |
| A conscious state of mind [State of mind...] | |
| T.V. is not reality [State of mind...] | |
| T.V. is not reality [State of mind...] | |
| T.V. is not reality | |
| Child turns on | |
| T.V. What does he see? | |
| Nature of man, dishonesty | |
| That child grows old | |
| Story be told | |
| As he sits behind bars | |
| And his soul grows cold | |
| Only if he knew | |
| The consequence of greed | |
| A conscious state of mind [State of mind...] | |
| T.V. is not reality [State of mind...] | |
| T.V. is not reality [State of mind...] | |
| T.V. is not reality [State of mind...] | |
