(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
