Anti-Flag The Press Corpse Lyrics
The (Downing Street) 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
the corporate choice
Roll the propaganda out using
The People's 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 Fools 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
talk it up all night
Talk until their face turns
blue - Red white and blue!
But when 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 want tiptoe, walk around it
Wave the flag and mindlessly salute
wowo
They don't want to talk about it
They want tiptoe, walk around it
Wave the flag and cowardly salute
hoho
And on the TV screen...
...Diversion and aversion
is the flavor of the day
Was it WMDs? 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
talk it up all night
Talk until their face turns
blue - Red white and blue!
But when 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 want tiptoe, walk around it
Wave the flag and mindlessly salute
wowo
They don't want to talk about it
They want tiptoe, walk around it
Wave the flag and cowardly salute
hoho
Fires fueled on endless lies
Black shrouds coat desert skies
A nation's viewpoint blurred and led
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 want to talk about it
We don't want to talk about it
the night and crawls into the day
They don't want to...
talk talk talk talk talk about it
They want tiptoe, walk around it
Wave the flag and mindlessly salute
wowo
They don't want to talk about it
They want tiptoe, walk around it
Wave the flag and cowardly salute
hoho
