[03:05.02][00:01.52]Ani Difranco-Decree
[00:19.69][00:00.93]
[00:24.26]Step up and forfeit your frontal lobe
[00:28.17]To the sexed up stroll of celebrity
[00:32.07]Never mind that the nanoseconds in between
[00:36.01]Are some of the darkest darkness 
[00:38.57]that you've ever seen
[00:40.54]Keep your eye on my finger
[00:42.29]And listen to the sound of my voice
[03:25.60][00:45.39]
[00:48.21]Get your subliminal decree
[00:50.29]And your false security
[00:52.55]Be all that you can be
[00:57.39]
[01:13.24]In hospitals and schools
[01:14.93]Airports and banks and bars
[01:17.02]Big ones on street corners
[01:18.99]Little ones driving by in cars
[01:21.59]And glowing through countless
[01:23.03]Bedroom curtains at night
[01:25.15]That 30k tone
[01:27.20]And that pale blue light saying
[01:29.55]
[01:29.77]Daddy knows best
[01:30.89]Yes, this is the news
[01:33.30]In 90 second segments officially produced
[01:37.05]And aired again and again and again
[01:41.18]By the little black and white pawns
[01:43.24]Of the network yes men
[01:45.30]While the stars are going out
[01:48.61]
[01:51.15]And the stripes are getting bent
[01:54.31]
[02:03.85]And cancer, the great teacher
[02:05.66]Has been opening schools
[02:07.78]Downstream from every factory
[02:09.79]Still, everywhere fools are
[02:12.29]Squinting into microscopes
[02:14.01]Researching cells
[02:15.82]Trying to figure out a way
[02:17.38]That we can all live in hell
[02:19.85]
[02:20.04]Well, step back, look up
[02:21.75]You'll see I'm dimming the sun
[02:24.04]But you won't, will you?
[02:25.98]Oh, that's a good little one
[02:27.82]
[02:28.07]'cause daddy knows best
[02:29.79]Yes, this is the news
[02:32.01]In 90 second segments officially produced
[02:36.13]And aired again and again and again
[02:40.14]By the little black and white pawns
[02:42.29]Of the network yes men
[02:44.26]While the stars are going out
[02:47.79]
[02:50.17]And the stripes are getting bent
[02:52.92]
[02:53.70]The stars are going out
[02:58.04]And the stripes are getting bent
