Forms of media that inform us of worldly events such as 'The News', newspapers and now the electronic form of news; 'e-papers' are what this song is based upon. The organizations that produce these forms of media pick and choose what they feel is what people want to see. They create a window of our world where we see what they want us to see. Thus, this is not reality but only what the media chooses to show, that will draw the most ratings and therefore make them the most income. Two important lines that show this are 'a medium upon which you build reality' and 'they've planted the seed, that sprouts into your picture of the world.' Furthermore, this 'news' we see everyday becomes less about the real world and the important issues at hand but more of a form of entertainment. This is why people are intrigued to see the pain and suffering of third world countries or the deaths of war then to actually be educated on the causes of this pain and suffering or war. Another important point made in this song is seen in the line 'they control two worlds, power and disease, and you cannot suppress your curiosity.' This line shows that it is only power (major corporations, US government, war updates) and disease (hunger, famine, outbreaks of disease) that the media portray of our world as thus control what we can see and interpret of that specific situation, but this is what we are curious to see because all this is only entertainment.
