Time After Time

Toxik

Time to understand
How my mind's been altered
To see what they want me to see
How the truth's been filtered ____ [lyric sheet has a blank underline]
After all I've seen, so many die - die!
Living life through the screen, a life that is just a lie
And the preacher who said he was pure
And the false tears that stain the screen
When he's caught with his favorite whore

[Chorus:]
Time after time
All my thoughts are implanted
time after time
All my views have been slanted

A source of all the answers
A cause of animosity
Drugs and sex, tonight on Geraldo
A morbid curiosity

After all I've seen so many die - die!
I've seen our president telling lie after lie
And there's third world news everyday
A hunger for freedom that's needed today

[Chorus:]

Time and time again we see
The cycle continues
Programming designed to drain
The soul that's within you

After all I've seen so many die - die!
Searching for the pot of gold
Praying to the dollar sign

We could turn black and white to gray
But the bigotry and ignorance just won't go away
Save the children on a distant shore
When they're starving and homeless dying at our door

Time after time
Took my mind for granted
Time after time
My free will is abandoned
Time after time
All my thoughts are implanted
Time after time - all my views
