The Electronic Era

I surf the air and through your wires
Invading your home, I am smoke lacking fire
My subtle persuasion penetrates through your pores
My permeating power invades you subconscious

I, a coercive tyrant without a face
Will consume your thoughts and leave no trace
My vocation to procure wealth with stealth
Your anonymous dictator, I decide what you will be

World renowned and resurgent with your every blink
You write with my ink, I consume what you think
In my immense supply I instigate demand
Silently singing the song stuck in your head

Your conformity clearly endorsed on shirts and shoes
Ignorant to all but the views of the news
My persuasive propaganda procures your personality
I set the status quo so you can follow like an ant

From radio waves to satellite transmissions
Internet adds and subliminal television
I get inside your head as a splinter in the skin
I methodically manipulate the minds of myriads of consumers

A subversive strategy syphonin your savings
Transcending impulses of material cravings
Infallibly rampant and impossible to ignore
Your life I live, freedom of choice I abolish
