Hassled by images

Drowned under information

Waiting, that the world passes

Without any opinion

In the society of the spectacle

« Truth is a moment of the false »

How to extirpate yourself from the mirage

And the meshes of the net ?

 

The world is rather complicated

Desire is missing comprehension

Ignorance is freedom

The newspeak says

All those who know nothing

Are convinced to understand everything

Fishing in a flow of

Incoherent words

 

Everybody is linked to the world

Through electronic prosthesis

But loneliness is deep

Sadness endemic

 

Permanent leap forward

Sad impression of being carried away

By a torrent of meaninglessness

Absurdities

Every one for himself and nothing for all

Brains are colonized

Everybody at the table for the mediatized

Banquet

 

Chorus:

 

Everything must be seen and disappear

Manufactured and sold

Words speeches images

Whatever content they have

As long as drunkenness is there

When nothing more makes sense

The spectacle inoculate dependence… dependence
