Fred Durst channels his rage at a variety of topics including negative influences on children in the media, which is ironic as a lot of his songs encourage violence themselves.
[Intro]
Check one
[Verse 1]
I don't like the radio, I don't like TV
They're selling so much shit these days, and the shit is not who I wanna be
I don't like officials, using rank to pretend they're not crooks
I don't like the tricks played on kids in those shitty teen metal books
I don't like my heroes to kill themselves with the drugs
I don't think success can fill you up when you need love
I don't like the whores that try to fuck you for your game
I don't like my childhood and do not need somebody else to blame
[Chorus]
This is the channel I'm dialed into
I already know you are dialed in too
This is the channel I'm dialed into
And I already know you are dialed in too
I already know you are dialed in too
[Post-Chorus]
Come on
[Verse 2]
I don't like this music, I don't like this band
I like what we're about and mock what you cannot understand
I don't like being paranoid, I don't like that I'm bleeding again
But I accept all these cards I've been dealt and do not need another fucking friend
[Chorus]
This is the channel I'm dialed into
I already know you, are dialed in too
This is the channel I'm dialed into
And I already know you, are dialed in too
I already know you are dialed in too
I already know you are dialed in too
[Bridge]
Who gives a fuck about what I like?
Who gives a fuck about who listens?
As long as I'm here
As long as you know you can keep me here
For whenever you get lost
Or you need an excuse to cover up your intentions
You hate that I express how I'm feeling
You hate that you relate to this shit
You hate that I'm a tick, a motherfucking tick
You're finding hard to forget
[Chorus]
This is the channel I'm dialed into
I already know you are dialed in too
This is the channel I'm dialed into
And I already know you are dialed in too
I already know you are dialed in too
I already know you are dialed in too
