When did the news become entertainment?

You pick and choose which side you want to hear to justify your opinion

These people have no right to be on the TV screen

We've traded paper for plastic faced actors

Who are paid spin headlines and keep us ignorant

An argument over everything

And look at the shape we're in

And the headline reads "Good luck my friends"

And then shuts down the printers

All this talk of change, there's no god damn way

When they manipulate and tell you it's true

It has nothing to do with the facts at hand

Or truth of the matter, but it's true

And we have nothing to say

While the blame is passed back and forth

Over and over, it's all true

You need to see who benefits from the media scheme

Big business and politicians need to control what you're thinking

Just keep people divided

Just keep people divided

Just keep them all divided

And we can own everything

Try to keep a straight face

So content to live in your ignorance

While they manipulate and tell you it's true

It has nothing to do with the facts at hand

Or truth of the matter, but it's true

And we have nothing to say

While the blame's passed back and forth

Over and over, it's all true

It has nothing to do with the facts at hand

Or truth of the matter, but it's true

And we have nothing to say

While the blame's passed back and forth

It's over
