The main attraction, distraction / Got ya number than number than numb / Empty ya pockets son, they got you thinkin’ that / What ya need is what they selling / Make you think that buying is rebelling / From the theaters to malls on every shore / Tha thin line between entertainment and war / The frontline is everywhere, there be no shelter here! / Spielberg, the nightmare works so push it far / Amistad was a whip, the truth was feathered and tarred / Memory erased, burned and scarred / Trade in ya history for a VCR

Cinema, simulated life, ill drama / Fourth Reich culture, Americana / Chained to the dream they got ya searchin’ for / Tha thin line between entertainment and war

There be no shelter here! (Tha frontline is everywhere)…

Hospitals not profit full / Yet market bulls got pockets full / To advertise some hip disguise / View tha world from American eyes / Tha poor adore keep fiendin’ for more / Tha thin line between entertainment and war / They fix the need, develop the taste / Buy their products or get laid to waste / Coca-Cola is back in the veins of Saigon / And Rambo too, he got a dope pair of Nikes on / And Godzilla, pure muthafuckin filler / To keep ya eyes off the real killer

Cinema, simulated life, ill drama / Fourth Reich culture, Americana / Chained to the dream they got ya searchin’ for / Tha thin line between entertainment and war

There be no shelter here! (Tha frontline is everywhere)…

American eyes, American eyes / View the world from American eyes / Bury the past, rob us blind / And leave nothing behind…

Just stare!… Relive the nightmare!
