The OM Sound - Shrink Rap Lyrics

Take an honest look at yourself, you can't fool me
You're a product, carbon copy from the advertising pedigree
If you can't see it from the clothes on your shelf, show-and-tell
Top-40 trash you're listening to will sell you out
Manufactured, repetitive, soulless propaganda
Hypnotizing and mind-numbing with every single stanza
If only it was as simple as rolling you up in Shrink Rap
Let these words suffocate the brainwashing of all these pathetic contra-bands
But it isn't that easy - every individual has to make a choice
Take full responsibility, and listen to the wisdom of the wisdom of the wisdom of that inner voice
And with the inundations from all the media stations, self-contemplation becomes a tribulation
Take stock of where you get your information and then study it, till it's just second nature
It's time to take back these radio-active stations
Freedom fighter surgeons and the airwaves are the patient
Cutting out the cancer with the truth, discrimination
True independence: Self-realization
Life is a movie, and this ain't Hollywood
Life is a movie, and this ain't Bollywood
This is the age of the spray-on-tan
Got talent? Nah, got looks, you're in demand
Yeah, life is a movie, and this ain't Hollywood
Life is a movie, and this ain't Bollywood
This is the age of the spray-on-tan
Got talent? Nah, got looks, you're in the band, yup
Take comfort in the number of people deconstructed
Every single soul coveted yet uncontrolled and understood
Nah, we weren't put here to bear a heavy burden
With every time we lift
It builds more strength to quell the hurtin'
I'm certain. Keep pulling on the thread of the curtain
Pretty soon the whole thing'll unravel and leave
Nothing but the "lite" version of the universe
One pace closer to Self-immersion
Step one: Unplug from the drug
Of this slow-paced sleeper, constantly flooding
Misinformation giving news thug
Sweep that shit back under the rug
Sure, it's wise to be aware, but take care
Thoughts are things, and fair
The more that you imagine, the more that you imagine
The like that you ensnare
Step two: Make the decision
With precision and unwavering volition
Envision your division - cognition
And then put in the request for your recision
Step three: Believe and never concede
Listen, learn, and proceed with the mission you've received
Indeed it's a défi, but you've got energy unique
Conquer, then repeat
Life is a movie, and this ain't Hollywood
Life is a movie, and this ain't Bollywood
This is the age of the spray-on-tan
Got talent? Nah, got looks, you're in demand
Yeah, life is a movie, and this ain't Hollywood
Life is a movie, and this ain't Bollywood
This is the age of the spray-on-tan
Got talent? Nah, got looks, you're in the band
Life is a movie, and this ain't Hollywood
Life is a movie, and this ain't Bollywood
This is the age of the spray-on-tan
Got talent? Nah, got looks, you're in demand
Yeah, life is a movie, and this ain't Hollywood
Life is a movie, and this ain't Bollywood
This is the age of the spray-on-tan
Got talent? Nah, got looks, you're in the band
