The print is bold
The language simple
Come on, skip right to the centrefold
Ignore that there a war is raging
Sensation gets the copies sold
News are digital
But what we want is entertainment
The meaning is just literal
Close your eyes to all the people dying
Remote control to something comical
Mind your mind
Mind your mind
Are you gonna find the truth behind?
All the headlines
All the deadlines
All the things they say?
What's the use having a point of view?
It just leads to obligations
Complications
So just mind your mind
Mind your mind
The pictures move
The world's becoming so complex
Do we really want to know the truth?
Do we care that everyone is lying?
Maybe we just need a proof
Or do we party on regardless?
The topic's not political
It's all bread and circuses
Our state of mind is just so cynical
In a time where only money matters
Societies' condition's more than critical
Mind your mind
Mind your mind
Are you gonna find the truth behind?
All the headlines
All the deadlines
All the things they say?
What's the use having a point of view?
It just leads to obligations
Complications
So just mind your mind
Mind your mind
Mind your mind
Mind your mind

Francis O'Neal: Yes, it's my little rant against infotainment and celebrity culture. I mean, the internet could provide us with all sorts of information in an instant and what do we do? Watch videos about cats fooling around and share gossip about C-list celebrities! It just blows my mind.
