lyrics

They say the pen is mightier than the sword
And a picture's worth even more
So a video clip must be the ultimate
Weapon to spread all the bullshit
And the talking heads only confuse
As they spin their tails, sell their point of view
So the way to rule is with a TV show
Cause who needs votes when you supply what people—think they know
With the grease paint on, let the hunt begin
Stay on attack, means justify ends
Play on emotions, feed our fear, beware the unseen beast
None's the wiser when you define truth as lying the least
Moralize and criticize, all reason disappears
Information crimes delivered by Narcissus and the mirror
Well dressed ladies and gentlemen spin stories with no proof
Opinion has become the news, no way to know the truth
We're drowning now in twenty-four hour news
The more we get the less we know, it's the shaming of the true
Say what it takes to bring them down, who cares if it's true
Predators in business suits stir the witches brew
Wag the dog—upload the blog—put lipstick on the pig
Herd the sheep—and tweet the tweet—everything is rigged
Well dressed ladies and gentlemen spin stories with no proof
Opinion has become the news, no way to know the truth
Watch the trick of tail, monkey see, monkey do
Focus groups find perfect words to change our point of view
Propaganda dressed up as news and no one has a clue
Shock jocks are dressed in business suits, they target me and you
We treat them like their were clergyman, believe in all they're saying
They're just TV personalities trying to boost the ratings
The fourth estate has surrendered to the razzle-dazzle of show biz
Cronkite's field is fallow now, and that's the way it is
