The Blurred Crusade

by Scott H. and Tom B. recorded in the late 90s 

blurred crusade -Pale

Corporate TV preacher's got a scheme...
...to buy and sell your soul through prime time
ingesting unknown poisons in your being
as you walk across a field of mines

Dumbing down, numbing out
there's no sense in reading, 'cuz seeing is believing
dumbing down, still in doubt
try, try, why should I try
just wave and watch the world go by

Elementary script for you to follow
a wasted after school prodigy
your parents gave you medicine to swallow...
...the soothing static of the new TV

Dumbing down, numbing out
there's no sense in thinking while I'm watching TV drinking
dumbing down, falling out
think, think, why should I think
just pour me another drink

Hidden frequencies, you're hypnotized
you've lost your wit, your future is forgone
if your brain death had been televised
would you wonder where it all went wrong

Dumbing down, numbing out
there's no sense in reading, 'cuz seeing is believing
dumbing down, still in doubt
try, try, why should I try
just wave and watch the world go by

It all started with Victor Scott & the Decline back in the mid Eighties. The insanity continued for three decades: The Dreaded Ninth, The Snipes, The Geckos, The Patron Saints, Zadar, Frog Mouth, The Blurred Crusade, and most recently, ScatterScott. You may have seen me front these bands throughout the Detroit-Ann Arbor-Ypsilanti area over the last thirty years.
