Information Society - Bacchanale Lyrics

In an age of video wallpaper and aural anesthesia,
Music has become a prostitute.
No longer is it a gift from the gods;

It has become a pacifier,
a tranquilizer,
and a tool.

A tool to protect us from loneliness,
to entice us to buy
and to keep us from seeing
how bad things have become.

At one time,
music was a vital experience,
it was physical,
emotional,
almost religious.

Today music is just
one more device
used by the new sun king
called civilization
to control itself.
