Conditioned Reaction Lyrics

Conditioned Reaction lyrics

Like a rock through a mosque in Jerusalem



a bullet through the head in Vietnam



a cannon through the wall at Antietam



or the army through the people in Tiananmen



well our history is rife (that's right)



with examples of our disregard for human life



so we imitate what we see (TV)



and we follow this culture



right down to our knees



and I don't see it getting any better today



until we replace our priorities over our pay



and the only world that we ever seem to know



is based on aquaintances and TV shows



another degredation, self revelation,



rocks through the veil of one antoher liberation







[Chorus]



Response...to action



Trigger...synapses



Conditioned...reaction







Is this what you call free?







Like a rock through a mosque in Jerusalem



a bullet through the head in Vietnam



a cannon through the wall at Antietam



or the army through the people in Tiananmen



well our history is rife (that's right)



with examples of our disregard for human life



so we imitate what we see (TV)



and we follow this culture



right down to our knees



and I don't see it getting any better today



until we replace our priorities over our pay



and the only world that we ever seem to know



is based on aquaintances and TV shows



another degredation, self revelation,



rocks through the veil of one antoher liberation







[Chorus]
