There`s A War Going On For Your Mind Lyrics

There is a war going on for your mind

Media mavens mount surgical strikes

From Trapper Keeper collages

And online magazine racks



Cover girl cutouts throw up pop-up ads

Infecting victims with silicone shrapnel

Worldwide passenger pigeons deploy paratroopers

Now, it's raining pornography, lovers take shelter



Post-production debutantes

Pursue you in NASCAR chariots

They construct ransom letters from biblical passages

And bleed mascara into the holy water supplies



There is a war going on for your mind

Industry insiders slang test tube babies

To corporate crack heads

They flash logos and blast ghettos



Their embroidered neckties say, "Stop snitchin'"

Conscious rappers and whistleblowers get stitches

Made of acupuncture needles

And marionette strings



There is a war going on for your mind

Professional wrestlers and vice presidents

Want you to believe them

The desert sky is their blue screen

They superimpose explosions, they shout at you



Pay no attention to the men behind the barbed curtain

Nor the craters beneath the draped flags

Those hoods are there for your protection

And meteors these days are the size of corpses



There's a war going on for your mind

We are the insurgents
