about

I was inspired to write this track after hearing a 1987 Dutch song by the artist Herman van Veen, titled: 'Zingende Doden'. Another big source of inspiration for Turn It Off were the incredibly insightful lectures, books and videos of the Canadian author Alan Watt.

lyrics

Walking down the street around nine p.m.
Is about that time where you might see them
If you take a little peep through the windows of a house
You'll see lazy lifeless beings steady laying on the couch

They seem to be in some kind of hypnotic dream
Emotionlessly staring at a Television Screen
Or did you ever notice that when conversating with the homies
All it takes is only the on button of a sony

And all attention is diverted, the conversation ends
Preventing you from having a real discussion with your friends
If this sounds familiar or somewhat recognizeable
You might have been subjected to the pentagon's mind control

The set you own is fitted with a certain flicker rate
This is done to put you in a trance hypnotic state
The most receptive brainparts start to activate
Without you even knowing it your mind is getting raped

Your brain's now receptive to subliminal suggestion
Ingestin the projection with no question or objection
Unaware of it the flashes hit you like repetative
The TV hypnotist is like a psycho therapist

While not reacting physically to the action that it shown
Suppressing all emotions so now your brain is prone
To attention disorders lately kids are swimmin in
While you're quick to give your kids some friggin ritalin

Except for mindless entertainment nothing's really on
The news you hear is pre-selected and all agreed upon
to be chewed up and spitted out in your living rooms
by the owners of conglomorates called media tycoons

Behind the scenes it's really families like these
who are secretly entangled to the weapons industries
The Rothschild family own reuters and ap
who now turn out to be the biggest news agencies

Who control nearly every media you see
Turner Murdoch Redstone... Disney and G.E.
it is the Fourth branch but of their own family trees
Their other branches profit from war in the middle east

That's why they mold your mind with words like muslim terrorist
Their programming is repetative the pulp works like a sedative
Yet fear and war are not the only things they sell
it's made to distract you from reality as well

I'm telling all the people that they better read and listen
wake up from the zombie mode the tele screen is giving,
its giving the empty vision to men teens and women
got you buying shit you don't really need for living

consumers buying nearly dying tryna flee the system
not overstanding that they're not freed but imprisoned
namely by greed and indeed materialism
Voting for which puppet will be next on television

While posessed by posessions, swagger shine and fashion
they're unable to question, the fascist progression
all i ever hear is what was on the night before
sleep work and consume, and watch the game some more

there are places you could go to watch your favorite show
where sports and movies are all instantly available
on the world wide web where you can also get the news
from all points of view so you wont get confused

You see that red button on your remote control
it will free your soul like goin g down the rabbit hole
You don't want your state of mind to become the mind of state
so you better turn the TV off before it is too late

be free to free your mind 'cause it's time to organise
Time to turn the TV off and take a look outside
Can you smell that? It's revolution in the air
Time to rush the palace like you just don't care
