about

Words
In the current situation, it is very important to try separate truth from the lie - a very challenging task given the exponential development of informational networks. Otherwise, when one decides not to care about that and simply listens to whatever the screen says, the Old-Man TV immediately takes the vacant place.

Drawing
Doesn’t this cute TV screen look like an alien trying to hypnotize us?

lyrics

Don’t underestimate the power of TV!

Your TV’s waiting for you to gather ‘round.
It will show you everything you need to see.
It will tell you everything you need to hear.
You will be convinced of all you need to live and to believe what they say.

Who are they? You’ll never know.
Who are they? You’ll never want to know.
Who are they? You’ll never ask yourself about that.

You will hear the same BS a dozen times a day.
You will let their propaganda props inside.
You will realise one day that there’s nothing left to say
to stop that penetration of your mind.

It will shape your moral right.
It will take you by surprise.
It will make their wild ideas sound like they are your own –
and you’ll like it.

Who are there behind that wall,
who contain and who control every little thing in this whole world?

They are glorified, they are certified,
and you are enchanted by their nacreous smile,
which is magnified, brightened, amplified
on your Full HD or CRT,
Plasma or just LCD,
QLED, OLED, AMOLED,
4K, 8K, flat or curve... I’ve got no nerve! - TV
