lyrics

So there’s this old joke in Soviet Russia. They had two newspapers; Pravda, which means truth & Izvestia, which means news. The joke was that in Pravda, there’s no news, in Izvestia there’s no truth. But the Jokes’ on us, because there’s neither in anything you can read today.

Everythings’ gotta go because, the things you read are all fabrication.
There’s nothing left to know in a shell called news, it’s pure placation.
Of someone else’s views, tainted by corrupt agenda.
The corporate greed, all that synergy ; one hand hides what the other renders ... (Come on!)

Burn it all down to the ground, how long before we take you down?
It’s a FireSale, just bring those flames, we’ll spell out truth in your remains.
You’re gonna bleed for being lying, cheating, manipulating scum.
Let your headlines read “a change, a change is gonna come”.

If you’re feeling kinda low it’s because you’re doing exactly what they told ya.
If you’re OK then tell us so, if not; we’ll steal your voice from you.
Vote for that TV talent show, calls are cheap; condescension comes free.
Live TV feed but there’s nothing to see; just burning Muslims and riot photography
(oh Kevin Carter ...Je Suis Charlie )

Burn it all down to the ground, how long before we take you down?
It’s a FireSale, just bring those flames, we’ll spell out truth in your remains.
You’re gonna bleed for being lying, cheating, self-perpetuating scum.
Let your headlines read “a change, a change is gonna come”.

(It’s a FireSale)
All the dirt, all the sleeze, the lies and deceit
(It’s a betrayal)
The Media is a medium I find obsolete
(You’re all gonna fail)
If the news it purports to report, is maintained by corporate greed
(It’s our FireSale)
The only truth left on the page is in-between the lines you read
(is in between the lies they feed, just read between the lines)

Burn it all down to the ground, how long before we take you down?
It’s a FireSale, just bring those flames, we’ll spell out truth in your remains.
You’re gonna bleed for being lying, cheating, Australian scum.
Let your headlines read “a change, a change is gonna come”.

I suck all smog out of California, drink all the dust from the bowls of Oklahoma
I blow all the dirt outta the Rocky Mountain mines, still come up feelin much cleaner than the New York Times.
