fantasy or reality?

am I the only one
that sees there's something wrong with this situation?
stuck in a dream where all we do is consume
in a state of constant want
with no sense of what we need

wait a second!
just hear me out!
I'm telling you this for your own good

please sit back, catch your breath
and take a look around
while we're distracted
we're taken advantage of

equality, rights for all,
just don't be poor or
it's all your fault,
saluting flags of imperialists
not fighting for rights
but the right to be rich

the truth is so diluted
it's hard to know what to believe
we make it easy
fantasy or reality?
it's all the same
to simple minds
numbed by their t.v.

wait a second!
just hear me out!
I'm telling you this for your own good

please sit back, catch your breath
and take a look around
while we're distracted
we're taken advantage of
