The biggest problem that we have today
Is that we spend our time listening to lies
There is a danger that if we could see
We would see through their disguise
The papers say there's trouble at the border
But they don't tell us that it's only common sense
Our foreign policy is called starvation
It hasn't changed under twenty presidents
Overseas companies kill the millions by disease
Then they lie and we buy it just to watch on our TV's
If you wonder why the truth is so hard to find
They have purchased a controlling interest
In the country's mind
A man grows up, he gets a job and dies
I just throw up when my TV lies
Most of the minds of the nation
Have been smothered under rotten magazines
The hearts of a people wrapped in dollars
Locked up inside limousines
Is that any way to talk about your country
Anyone can see we've got the best
But when democracy sits side by side with poverty
Then I say that
Some folks are votin on the fate of the rest
A man grows up, he gets a job and dies
I just throw up when my TV lies
