Matt Wixson - Are You Paying Attention? Lyrics

The government creates problems so that you will turn to them for solutions
They will make you afraid and be the only ones to make you feel safe again
Are you paying attention?

Animal liberation is not just about the animals
If we did not have to feed livestock, we could feed all the world's hungry
Are you paying attention?

Guns kill human beings
Bombs kill human beings
Soldiers kill human beings
Are you paying attention?

September 11th was not unprovoked
It was retalliation
Are you paying attention?

Success does not equal talent
Fame does not equal significance
Trends will end
Are you paying attention?

Health, like satelite television, is a luxury
You can have it if you can afford the subscription rate
Are you paying attention?

Right and wrong existed before the ten commandments
It is courageous to seek out and act upon real morals
Are you paying attention?

Justice is a game between attorneys, refereed by a judge
You are the ball
Are you paying attention?

News is an industry which only produces that which it thinks the masses will accept
Unpopular means unprofitable
Are you paying attention?

Homosexuality is not a choice
People do not choose to be second-class citizens
Are you paying attention?

If a substance is not dangerous to society or the individual, legalize it
Are you paying attention?

Democracy is not real if the options are narrowed for you
Are you paying attention?
