Fat: Pt 1 - Mass Media Rise Of The New Health Reich
Flicking through the channels and browsing through the net
I see the infomercial fascist, relieving junk diets for escapement
To the deprecated masses the flock for high-speed solutions.
Exalting to the virtues of tummy tucks and surgeons knives
And favoring the religion of synthetic Mount Olympians
We always chagrined these late night highwaymen
The backpedal wizards with their marketed magic potions
Dispelling pseudo wisdom in cosmetic metamorphosis
To faithful sluggish narcissists, who worship being beach peaches
With tan lines and twister riffs that credit cards for laurel rewards
But the parasitic message, were the symptom of our beliefs
The epicenter of this disaster, was in the cultural mirage
Of vacant superficial dreams, in laminated beauty queens
And replicas of golden Abs, from six pack princes airbrushed in
Then the world began to spin, from obsessions with the outer skin
Reward the blossomed roses with the lower lipid count
Smiles and affection, and leave the rotund out to drought
They can cover themselves, from the shadows of the sun
Succumbing to the basement of their premature deficiencies
While starving for life, looking at you through a TV screen
Is it worth it to deride anyone whose not a playgirl?
Why can't beuty be the truth without resorting to end games.
The light is growing dimmer for modesty and sincerity
The health clubs Gestapo will be awaiting in the shadows
Stirring in the public the misdirection of our struggle
