The Press Corpse

The memo says we gotta work to make the facts fit the false charges

Pull the wool over the eyes of the filthy masses

Stab the people in the back for their corporate choice

Roll the propaganda out using the peoples' voice

We don't want to talk about it

The press scribble, scribble every half-truth spoke

Then shoot it 'round the country like an April Fool's joke

Hype the nation for a desert storm love affair

Wave the stars and stripes like you just don't care

They talk it up all day, they talk it up all night

They talk until their face turns blue (Red, white, and blue)

The truth escapes the night, and crawls into the day

We find the picture still askew

They don't want to talk, talk, talk, talk, talk about it

They wanna tip toe, walk around it

Wave the flag and mindlessly salute (Whoa, whoa)

They don't want to talk about it

They wanna tiptoe, walk around it

Wave the flag and cowardly salute

Oh

And on the TV screen, diversion and aversion is the flavor of the day

Was it WMD's or democracy?

Blame it on MI-6 or the CIA

The White House Press Corpse only has one thing to say

We don't want to talk about it

The White House boils over, Al Jazeera got it wrong

The Press Corpse jumps onboard singing the White House song

While over in Iraq, thousands are dead because of lies

The spineless war drumming Press Corpse have taken lives

They talk it up all day, they talk it up all night

They talk until their face turns blue (Red, white, and blue)

The truth escapes the night, and crawls into the day

We find the picture still askew

They don't want to talk, talk, talk, talk, talk about it

They wanna tiptoe, walk around it

Wave the flag and mindlessly salute (Whoa, whoa)

They don't want to talk about it

They wanna tiptoe, walk around it

Wave the flag and cowardly salute

Fires fueled on endless lies

Black shrouds coat desert skies

A nation's viewpoint blurred and bled

As embeds report what they're fed

We don't want to talk about it

We don't want to talk about it

We don't want to talk about it

We don't want to talk about it

We don't want to talk about it

We don't, don't want to, we don't want to talk about it

We don't want to talk about it

We don't, we don't want to, we don't want to talk

They don't want to talk, talk, talk, talk, talk about it

They wanna tiptoe, walk around it

Wave the flag and cowardly salute (Whoa, whoa)

They don't want to talk about it

They wanna tiptoe, walk around it

Wave the flag and cowardly salute

Whoa
