You read the paper, watch the news and think
Your well informed
I've got some new for you my friend
That headline that you read, the story that broke
Was a scandle and a scam, a political master stroke
They tell you what they want you to hear
So close your eyes and open your earsIt's easier that way when you don't have to
Think for your self you say
I tell you no lies
I read it all in black and white
It was on my TV they were telling me just what to believe
I tell you no lies all the while they're tellin you liesEveryday you and me, we see what we are shown
It's hard to scratch below
The people at the top, are hidden far from veiw
They're not goin to show their faces
To the likes of me and you
You never see them on the street
Always see the things that they doThey know they can get away and no price is too
High for them to pay
