Song : Entertainment
 
(M. Spohn, R. Peinelt, A. Torkler) (from the album
"InFormation", 1995) we live in a world where
information comes on 24 hours a day and no-one'
got a chance to escape, no-one can look away for
every theme its own big channel on reality TV
sports and war and so much more - we take part in
history but everything has got its price so it
must be commercialized it must be commercialized
- oh yes, it must be commercialized and now: it's
time for a commercial break! yeah, everything is
ultra, everything is supra it's mega, it's light
and better than ever, so buy it now or never but
you should buy it before you ain't got the time
anymore cause when the ultra-time increases speed
it may be too late tomorrow so buy it now and you
will never have sorrow the ultra-time has come
but it is more like a bad dream when history's
dirty scenes happen live on the TV screen
emotionless the people stare at people dying in a
war perverted entertainment, even religion's sold
like a whore when the viewers sit next to the
pilot in a flying F-15 the bomb that we just
dropped was sponsored by candy chocolate cream
the Nielsen rating was almost perfect at
eighty-four percent and the prices of the slots
for spots were raised to an unbelievable extent
newsflash on ENTV, and these are the events: ENTV
purchased broadcasting rights for the war against
Cardassia for this project FS satellite 5 was
launched successfully today two hundred billion
dollar sponsoring contracts guarantee best
quality telecast will be on 24 hours a day on
ENTV's network 3 I had a frightening dream last
night in holophonic sound and colours like real
so bright they launched a satellite to air the
final show of shows and somewhere in another
galaxy the creatures didn't watch TV, they
listened to the radio instead where the newsman
said: in our neighbour galaxy something happened
yesterday an accident occured but nothing
dangerous comes our way and in our world there
are just the leaders of the former big states on
their lonely flight in space in bunkers,
radiation-save cause someone pressed the button
it's the last thing he has done and now the Mars
is number three eclipsing our sun pictures of
some TV scenes in my head all a proove that this
world is going mad harm, hurt and injury have
become triviality with fascination we see
devastation the bitter truth lies deep inside the
mentality of the human race and we all have lost
the good taste of style and grace noone anymore
needs fantasy cause now there is reality-TV it
shows us live from everywhere the entertaining
art of brutality
