Power Of The Media
(No resistance) Flying through the airwaves Living through the printed word Flasher in the living room Guru of the seen and heard Who decides what we get to hear Fuzzy round the edges or making it clear Blinding us with those facts Chorus The power of the media will make up our minds The power of the media will take down our minds Written on the black and white page We can't believe what we read Tarting up reality has become the new rage Who said the truth is stranger than fiction A few white lies for a nice little sensation Buy up a paper you can influence the nation Little box in the corner A picture worth a thousand words But who chooses which pictures we see Who decides on the commentary Keeping people in a state of confusion There's a thin line between facts and illusion Diverting our attention from big brother in the city When will we get to the real nitty gritty From Letras Mania
