Television the drug of a Nation.

Old music video lyrics I've never been able to get out of my head because they ring true.
Constantly wanting people to focus on something, look over here, not over there, we will tell you what to think and what to do.

The lyrics went...
"One nation
Under God.
Has turned into
One nation under the influence
Of one drug.
Television, the drug of a nation breeding ignorance and feeding radiation."

It's so true.
