Good News
6am roll out of bed
I stick my coffee in a cup
I switch on, my TV
And wonder why I bothered getting up
Spreading fear and paranoia
And like parasites they feed
Breeding hate and animosity
Between people of all creeds
It's not naivety, or innocence
My head's not in the sand
But the media, has gone way too far
And lost touch with the common man
Spinning story after story
Making everything unclear
There's taxes, cuts and murders
And it's all worse than last year
It's a platform, for the rich elite
To get their propaganda heard
They're known, as the voice of the people
And to me that's fucking absurd
Politicians argue semantics
In their plush leather backed seats
Oblivious to, the pain and the anger
And the violence on the streets
So why can't you see?
They spoon feed you these lies
To keep us all marching in line
And there will come a time
For you to open up your eyes
They spoon feed you these lies
To keep us all marching in line
And there will come a time
For you to make up your own mind
1234, 12, 12
Whatever happened to good news?
We're forced to obey
We're never taught to choose
Whatever happened to good news?
When you think for yourself
They're the only ones that lose
Surely there should be a balance
Good and bad combined
Tell people what's really going on
And let them make up their own minds
The world is not as dark
As they want us to believe
Being scared keeps you where you are
But information will set you free
They spoon feed us these lies
To keep us all marching in line
And there will come a time
For you to open up your eyes
They spoon feed us these lies
To keep us all marching in line
And there will come a time
For you to make up your own mind
Whatever happened to good news?
We're forced to obey
We're never taught to choose
Whatever happened to good news?
When you think for yourself
