Choice of Viewing by Citizen Fish Lyrics
Your poison is my antidote
What keeps you down keeps me afloat
Perceiving, as you believe in it
That media shapes were never meant to fit
The holes you create to fit them in
But you adjust and the fiction wins, again
The pictures from the T.V. screen
Contain a lot more then what it really seems
But to be there seeing it all for real
Is it too much to contemplate? Is it too much to feel?
Cast the image, it is all, until it disappears
To be instantly replaced
What do we do with the information?
Who selects your choice of viewing?
Why don't we lose the hesitation
That keeps us looking instead of doing?
The first thing to do and now not later
Quit the position of mere spectator
Be your own motivator
Look to the inside, be the creator
Now not later!
Not for others to blindly follow
- See how the influence works -
But to give you a space that isn't so hollow
Where no-one but you has the words
And the pictures to fit what you're saying
From what only you have thought out
When the media form your opinion
You forget what real life's about
What do we do with the information?
Who selects your choice of viewing?
Why don't we lose the hesitation
That keeps us looking instead of doing?
It's your life, what are you doing?
It's your life, what are you doing?
It's your life, what are you doing?
What keeps you down keeps me afloat
Perceiving, as you believe in it
That media shapes were never meant to fit
The holes you create to fit them in
But you adjust and the fiction wins, again
The pictures from the T.V. screen
Contain a lot more then what it really seems
But to be there seeing it all for real
Is it too much to contemplate? Is it too much to feel?
Cast the image, it is all, until it disappears
To be instantly replaced
What do we do with the information?
Who selects your choice of viewing?
Why don't we lose the hesitation
That keeps us looking instead of doing?
The first thing to do and now not later
Quit the position of mere spectator
Be your own motivator
Look to the inside, be the creator
Now not later!
Not for others to blindly follow
- See how the influence works -
But to give you a space that isn't so hollow
Where no-one but you has the words
And the pictures to fit what you're saying
From what only you have thought out
When the media form your opinion
You forget what real life's about
What do we do with the information?
Who selects your choice of viewing?
Why don't we lose the hesitation
That keeps us looking instead of doing?
It's your life, what are you doing?
It's your life, what are you doing?
It's your life, what are you doing?
