Tragic Vision lyrics - Lagwagon song

Song: Tragic Vision
Artist: Lagwagon
Album: Duh
By Joe Muggah


In this faltering nation
the future belongs
to the children in school.
There's something wrong.

Sixth grader on crack
handgun overflowing in his hands.
Now he is just further demands.

We search for the source
and still that child is watching
inhumanity, bloodshed
as the tele-violence feeds his head.

Only if he knew
the consequence of greed.
A concious state of mind.
TV is not reality.
State of reality...
State of mind.

Never a victim the role model said:
'Bang, bang the bad guy's dead'.
Always a rockstar on empty TV
The lesson complete, now the child has needs.

Of competition they bleed,
oh beautiful for bills of green.
Nevermind spacious skies overhead,
bleed the earth and butter your bread.

Only if he knew
the consequence of greed.
A concious state of mind.
TV is not reality.
(State of mind). TV is not reality.
(State of mind). TV is not reality.

Child turns on TV. (What does he see?)
Nature of man. (Dishonesty)
That child grows old, story be told
as he sits behind bars and his soul grows cold.

Only if he knew
the consequence of greed.
A concious state of mind.
(State of mind). TV is not reality.
(State of mind). TV is not reality.
(State of mind). TV is not reality.
State of mind.
