I'm here to bring you the Truth and the Pleasure
Here to show you the meaningful form
It's going to feel like a new kind of leisure
It's going to smell like a freshly mown lawn
I'm installing a personal toolkit for thinking
Especially customized only for you
You enable it just by the action of blinking
From now on your thoughts will be focused and true
An intensely Pink Lady with a disturbing face performs a rhyming lecture, or motivational monologue, accompanied by an emotional slide show of formal family portraits. She is trying to persuade us of something, we don't know what, as the translation is all wrong... she could be trying to help us to be happy, or it could be that through new techniques, by the end of the video we've been brainwashed...
Note: This title is intended by the artist to be viewed in High Definition. While DVD format is available to enable accessibility, VDB recommends presentation on Blu-ray or HD digital file.
