Modern day Babylon
The mind is a firearm
Advertisements try to keep the riot calm
Corporations smuggle information
Altering your frequency
Miseducation of the masses
Massive-we receive programming
In flashes-passive
Who am I just a guy
With a third eye
Working overtime to survive
I learned my lesson young
Hung on every word of the television church
So absurd reversed my thought pattern
Tuned out the manic
Babble of the serpentine
Too dramatic
Found more space
Just a place in my head
Where I go when it's time
To get fed
Led to my guidance
Pease my reliance
Middle of the storm
In the I it's all quiet
It's up to you and me, we made a monster and we set it free
It's an illusion in your mind, it's Frankenstein, it's Frankenstein
I was a blank canvas
But we ain't in Kansas no more dog I can't stand it
Billboards in my face, a whole planet
Overloaded, no space
Can man get a little peace of mind one time?
Without interruption, what can I find?
In a bind, think I need this info
But without it life is more simple
It's uptempo, we keep this movin'
Fillin' our brains with popular illusion
Until I can't think straight
What am I doin'? I can't think straight!
What did I ruin? And who put the first cartoon in?
Now I can't fit the sun, earth, moon in
We're too busy, defragmented, dizzy
It's all pretty confusion', I'm just human
It's up to you and me, we made a monster and we set it free
It's an illusion in your mind, it's Frankenstein, it's Frankenstein
Update status
Quick pick flick
Quick fix for the
Callous on my mind's
Too thick
Can't see thru shit
Can't feel nothing
But the finfger on my thoughts
'Bout to press another button
I'm a robot
With control thru remote
Just enough rope
I can hang on and hope
For the betterment
But my softwares hacked
Serial code
Bold tatted on my neck
Advertised lies penetrate deep crushin' your thought process
It's no coincidence you can't stay focused as easy as you can stay broke
Yet they got a drug for A.D.D. or whatever it be at the pharmacy
Pornos slappin' you in the face on Internet streets
No wonder you can't sleep
But there's a pill for that and a big bill for that man
Spam from every direction 'til you don't know your reflection from your avatar
Are you who you say you are?
Or a just a sliver of who you know your supposed to be
Well Google the answers and check one of your ten favorite social networks for assurance
Maybe it's in your email inbox
Or someone will randomly text it to you while you're at the movies
I know the answer already though
Clear out the excess, get rid ot the unnecessary
Now's the time y'all, reclaim your souls
It's up to you and me, we made a monster and we set it free
It's an illusion in your mind, it's Frankenstein, it's Frankenstein
