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
