Written in direct response to the Gulf War and W Bush's and his crony's profiteering, as well as the degradation of US civil rights under the guise of protecting our borders from terrorism.
A video by Dutch artist Margot Van Ham was made in 2005, and was included on the DVD with the original physical release in 2006. This video is available on the Electrofunkadelica YouTube Channel.

lyrics
4. The Third Eye
(c2002: Paul Hill, Michael 'Clip" Payne, Shaunna Hall)
My eye and your eye are blinded by the third eye
My whole life, all this time, been blinded by the third eye
lately on my TV screen,
lately I've been feelin' it's been watchin' me
monitoring everything I say and do,
what the hell is goin' on cuz I don't have a clue
all up in my privacy
telling me what I can be and I should be
it's runnin' you and runnin' me
I thought I lived my own life, but now I see
it's bigger than us big brother
nobody knows what nobody knows
i see the TV is watchin'
how can we grow if nobody knows?
it's bigger than us big brother
nobody knows if nobody's sure
they're standing right there beside us
so it goes and so it goes
my eye and your eye are blinded by the third eye
my whole life, all this time, been blinded by the third eye
relax, take note of the pyramids winkin'
presidential hand jobs and peep freaks freakin'
tattle tale done told, hush hush, don't be speakin'
it's just me and my girl spendin' time for the weekend
we be buggin' for the booty that's been promised us
beggin' for assistance, that's alot of us
lost latin in a circle of non truth
pressuring our next-door neighbors
into becoming the ultimate sluths
On my TV, the only thing you're selling me
is how another country is fuckin' over our country
but, hey uncle sam
I really don't give a damn
cuz look at how you're shittin' on me,
and fair exchange ain't robbery
it's bigger than us big brother
nobody knows what nobody knows
i see the TV is watchin'
how can we grow if nobody knows?
it's bigger than us big brother
nobody knows if nobody's sure
they're standing right there beside us
so it goes and so it goes
La la la, Lala
