Tell Lie Vision Lyrics - Singles - Jerrico

Turn it on/turn it off 

Tune it in/ tune it out 

Flip the channel / turn the knob 

Close ur mind/ shut ur mouth 

Dem main source of revenue are the advertisers 

Large corporations as the media owners 

So the media business follow whatever dem order 

Commanding, demanding dem ratings fi go higher 

So dem put constant pressure pon the show writer 

Pressure pon director and pressure pon producer 

Dem have fi get great ratings fi get paid top dollar 

And guess what? Sex and violence is dem formula 

No doubt the growth of the media, is linked to the growth of the wicked behavior 

The wicked behavior of most children and teenager 

Influenced by tv shows wit sex and disorder 

Sex pon soap operas, and sex pon shows during the time dem label family hour 

Even pon talk shows, sex no. 1 rumor 

And good entertainment means sex is the main feature 

Tv viewers seem to have same feelings and conception 

But dem values are not of moral and spiritual foundation 

Instead dem busy following shows on tell-lie-vision 

Peoples thoughts controlled by media organization 

Television a reveal a lot of information 

Bout images and values of the population 

I wan u watch it watch it and keep wise observation 

Ull see we live in a de violent and eroticized nation 

Commercials for cars, cigarettes, alcohol, packaged food 

Soda pop, fastfood, chewing gum use sexual metaphors 

For big money collection 

Even eroticism to the product has no connection 

Dem still use it fi toy with deep human emotion 

Subliminal changes of sounds and images in split second 

Make emotional impact, leavin no time for reflection 

Designed to run down the risk of viewer realization 

That most things pon the tube are falsehood and deception
