about

Television as a medium to contol and influence the masses is a subject you might have spotted in some of our other songs as wel, but this songs is dedicated to it. Instead of doing stuff that really matters people have become obsessed with fame. Instead of informing the masses, TV nowadays is used as a weapon to sooth the masses into submission. It's the new opium for the people.

In the end it's not the medium that is evil, but the people controlling it. They are the ones promoting stupidity and materialism. They are the ones that are making people spend money they don't have on things they don't need. Enslaving us to capitalism and turning us into mindless celebrity obsessed drones.

It's time to break the chains!

lyrics

Get With The Program Guide

Watching plastic dreams on silver screens
We're never satisfied
The program guide dictates our lives
Keeps us preoccupied

Entire generations blinded by the light
But I can see a candle burning
If only I could start a fire
I could make you see

They're wasting our time

We will reclaim the airwaves of the world
And learn to live our own lives
We will reclaim the airwaves of the world
And start to live our own lives
We will reclaim the airwaves of the world
And learn to live our own lives
We will reclaim the airwaves of the world
And start to live our own lives

Entire generations blinded by the light
But I can see a candle burning
If only I could start a fire
I could make you see

They're wasting our time

about

The Minority Netherlands

‘We will reclaim the airwaves of the world’

This line sums up what THE MINORITY stands for. We are creating the music we love, and singing about issues we talk about over drinks late at night or over coffee in the morning. We try not to be that silent majority we all loathe.

With (ex-)members from: 1000 Miles Ahead, Progress, The Retreat, Ten Threats and The Indoor Park.
