Song Notes
I love old punk flyers. You'd see things like a crucifixion of Mickey Mouse: two things that aren't supposed to go together. That's kind of what the song is about. The music is almost Springsteenish.

Lyrics
Can you hear the sound of the static noise blasting out in stereo?
Cater to the class and the paranoid music to my nervous system
Advertising love and religion, murder on the airwaves
Slogans on the brink of corruption
Visions of blasphemy, war and peace
Oh, screaming at you
I can't see a thing in the video
I can't hear a sound on the radio
In stereo in the static age
Billboard on the rise in the dawn's landscape, working your insanity
Tragic á la madness and concrete Coca-Cola execution
Conscience on a cross and your heart's in a vice
Squeezing out your state of mind
Are what you own that you cannot buy
What a fucking tragedy, strategy
Oh, screaming at you
I can't see a thing in the video
I can't hear a sound on the radio
In stereo in the static age
I can't see a thing in the video
I can't hear a sound on the radio
In stereo in the static age
Hey, hey, it's the static age
Well, this is how the west was won
Hey, hey, it's the static age millennium
All I want to know is a god damned thing
Not what's in the medicine
All I want to do is I want to breathe
Batteries are not included
What's the latest way that a man can die?
Screaming "Hallelujah" (Hallelujah)
Singing out "the dawn's early light"
The silence of the rotten, forgotten
Oh, screaming at you
I can't see a thing in the video
I can't hear a sound on the radio
In stereo in the static age
I can't see a thing in the video
I can't hear a sound on the radio
In stereo in the static age
I can't see a thing in the video
I can't hear a sound on the radio
In stereo in the static age
I can't see a thing in the video
I can't hear a sound on the radio
In stereo in the static age
The static age
