open your eyes
lyrics by Penelope Houston/ music by P. Houston, G. Ingraham, D. O'Brien, J. Wilsey


At first I thought you were dead
but now I see you're on of the rest
they drugged you with musak and TV sedation
you're one of the blank generation

Open your eyes, open your eyes
You don't see what's going on
Come on, open your eyes, open your eyes
you watch TV to find out what's right and wrong, yeah
Open your eyes
well, they tell you lies and you sing along
Open your eyes to what you respected
Open your eyes you can reject it

I want to upset you, want to make you think
but you eat all their shit
it makes your breath stink
gonna get a job and join a fucking union
that way, you know, nothing's gonna happen

Open your eyes, open your eyes
You don't see what's going on
Come on, open your eyes, open your eyes
you watch TV to find out what's right and wrong, yeah
Open your eyes
well, they tell you lies and you sing along
Open your eyes to what you respected
Open your eyes and you can reject it

Like lemmings you run towards destruction
you can't see the stream of corruption
oh I see you've been blind
you better make up your mind

Open your eyes, open your eyes
You don't see what's going on
Come on, open your eyes, open your eyes
you watch TV to find out what's right and wrong, yeah
Open your eyes
well, they tell you lies and you sing along
Open your eyes to what you respected
Open your eyes and you can reject it
Oh, open your eyes
Oh, open your eyes
