Media Mind Control

They guide you in through blinded sight
On TV screens and movie night
Your subconscious screams but isn’t heard
They feed you full of every word
It doesn’t matter if you don’t believe
Messages subconsciously you will receive
It influences your every move
It’s in the music to which you groove
They’ll make you buy what you don’t need
And draw you in through endless greed
They’ll convince you wearing less is in
And that the only way to be is thin
The magazines, they like to lie
Nope not pregnant; just ate a pie
To command your mind is their goal
So do not let them steal control
