You read the paper, watch the news and think
Your well informed
IÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂ'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 ears
ItÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂ's easier that way when you donÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂ'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 ÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂ they were telling me just what to believe
I tell you no lies ÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂ all the while theyÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂ're tellin you lies
Everyday you and me, we see what we are shown
ItÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂ's hard to scratch below
The people at the top, are hidden far from veiw
TheyÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂ'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 do
They know they can get away and no price is too
High for them to pay
I tell you no lies.
ItÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂ's very simple itÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂ's in black and white
ItÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂ's on your TV ÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂ we got every thing you need to believe
I tell you no lies ÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂ and all the while they are telling you lies
