More Lies

politicians on pedestals for heroism and grace (great)

when only really found in the right time and the right place

they just sit up in their office never really knowing fear

as a thousand dead and dying will just further their career

now it's just so easy, there's a dollar to be made

all we need's a giant billboard erected out of someone's grave

there's no profit margin in truth so we better sell our own

lies travelling through time and space then beamed right back into your home

they lie

on the news every station propaganda spreading from the television to the papers

they lie

with their stories they create- they're just painting the right picture

for the right time and right place

so now we can't believe in a single thing we read

cause they're selling they're not telling

and it's all based on their greed

and this shit only seeps into every mind you see

every boring life that can't escape t.v. reality

did you really find it coincidence when hollywood shits out more

than a dozen flicks to glorify americans at war

military takes the cue with more ads running day and night

do you really believe dying a hero is more glorious than living?

but if you'd rather die- if you think it's my supply

than swallow all your medicine and never question why

just pray to your remote, and sign away your life,

and take your bet on who's the threat your wager's lost cause it's a lie

switch on the camera does it matter who dies?

there's always profit in pain

there's alway profit in lies
