Propaganda Machine

Radio, TV and magazines Tellin' you how to be to make the scene It's all black and white and no grey matter in between And it seems The megalithic media with feet of clay Suck to the people so the ratings pay Never give a care who is caught in the ricochet Every picture paints a thousand lies And the airways amplify Propaganda machine With its slanderous schemes Propaganda machine The lies between the lines Smooth guy standin' at a pick-up bar Flashin' cash like a movie star Tellin' everyone he's got a brand-new car It's a Porsche, of course But he'd never admit he's got a hell of a life Workin' hard payin' off his third ex-wife Never the time to enjoy the things he'd like to do Money can't but a long-term smile It's just a lie propagated by Propaganda machine With its slanderous schemes Propaganda machine The lies between the lines Tells you what to think and what to say And everything is all O.K. But we're all victims of the machine Tells you what to do, what point of view to take To make you mass-produced One more prisoner of the machine Petty politicians playin' schoolboy games The fallacy of weapons takin' deadly aim Huffin' and puffin' now it's all in the name Of what's best, they guess So they wave us goodbye and they wish us luck Which is just like sayin', You can all get lost" Hang the cost if the machine keeps makin' bucks Well, the big boys jump at every chance To do another dance for the Propaganda machine With its slanderous schemes Propaganda machine The lies between the lines Tells you what to think and what to say And everything is all O.K. But we're all victims of the machine Tells you what to do, what point of view to take To make you mass-produced One more prisoner of the machine Tells you what to think and what to say And everything is all O.K. But we're all victims of the machine Tells you what to do, what point of view to take To make you mass-produced One more prisoner of the machine
