Very Prophetic song from 1983- Open Your Eyes

A fun video I made to start the weekend off with. Thank you to all my subscribers, Stiv Bators was a brilliant performer and lyricist. he was the singer for 1970's punk band the Dead Boys and this song he wrote in his second band Lords Of the New Church. I think these lyrics are prophetic in 2019.

Open Your Eyes
The Lords of the New Church
Video games train the kids for war
Army chic in high-fashion stores
Law and order's done their job
Prisons filled while the rich still rob
Assassination politics
Violence rules within' our nation's midst
Well ignorance is their power tool
You'll only know what they want you to know
The television cannot lie
Controlling media with smokescreen eyes
Nuclear politicians picture show
The acting's lousy but the blind don't know
Open your eyes
See the lies right in front of ya
Open your eyes
They scare us all with threats of war
So we forget just how bad things are
You taste the fear when you're all alone
They gonna git'cha when you're on your own
The silence of conspiracy
Slaughtered on the altar of apathy
You gotta wake up from your sleep
'Cause meek inherits earth six feet deep
Open your eyes see the lies right in front of ya
Open your eyes
