Out of Control
Where the powerful control the press
They can do anything
To those who are powerless
Morals are mere painting
What‘s wrong is made right
Things do change over night
Faces with false emotion
Are shown each day on TV
Most viewers have no notion
They haven’t the slightest idea
Don’t believe your ears and eyes
Media fills you with lies
Covering up mistakes and schemes
Nothing is what it seems
Read between the lines and detect
The carefully hidden effect
Faces with false emotion
Are shown each day on TV
Most viewers taking this potion
Are brainwashed by what they see
The politician in his suit looks smart
Whilst media trained pretending
He speaks from his heart
He’s twisting and bending
The truth and the facts
Lying about his deceiving acts
Faces with false emotion
The ones that you watch on TV
They set the world in motion
Without thinking of you and me
Promising and explaining
Demanding and complaining
Threatening and accusing
Giving in or refusing
It’s all just performing an act
Playing the polls as a fact
