Do you watch the news?

Is it watching you?

Are they cutting checks

To maximize their views?

Do they twist and spin

To make a lose a win?

Do you doubt your own eyes can see

The reality you’re in?

Do you believe that they are really on your side?

Are they telling the truth or is there something they’re trying to hide?

Rebel, think.

Are you talking in sync

With the anchors, papers, corporations?

Blood money can buy

A politician can lie

Do you feel great about the state of our nations?

Big Pharma’s in bed

With bankers, brokers, The Fed

No judge is gonna let that class action stick

They funded the Axis

With American taxes

This whole world is just a rich man’s trick

Do you believe that game wasn’t rigged from the start?

When their mouths are moving, do you think they’re speaking from the heart?

Sing Mockingbird

Don’t say a word

About the truth, lies, or in between

The news desk is a stage

Just read the words on the page

And make me feel ya through my TV screen

Sing Mockingbird

Don’t say a word

About what the plebians need not know

Got them slaving away

For Uncle Sam’s payday

So you best just get on with the show
