11. Propaganda

The king and the soldier

The rich and the older

They turn the publicity wheel

The lies are in motion

Across every ocean

The truth is so easy to steal

They deliver the monkey to the media junkie Surviving on each little word We re being led to the slaughter

The son and the daughter

I've seen it, I've read it. I've heard

Chorus

All we ever see. all we ever hear - Propaganda!

All we ever touch, all we ever feel - Propaganda!

All that we are. and all that we'll be

Down through the ages

They've been burning the pages Of those who delivered the word

They're killing the prophets

For power and profit

Forgetting the ones that they serve

Chorus repeat

So be afraid of the word

It's something you've never heard

Just an illusion, it won t keep you from dying

They pull the wool over you

They pull the wool over me

Caught red handed, but they keep on denying

The pen in the hand

Of the one in command

Writes the future and changes the past

And the songs that we sing May not change anything But the melody's destined to last
