Anti-Flag - The Press Corpse lyrics

[Anti-Flag - The Press Corpse lyrics]

The 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 Fool's 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
They talk it up all night


They 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 wanna tiptoe, walk around it
Wave the flag and mindlessly salute
Woah, woah they don't want to talk about it
They wanna tiptoe, walk around it
Wave the flag and cowardly salute

And on the TV screen
Diversion and aversion is the
Flavor of the day was it WMDs? Or Democracy?
Blame it on MI6 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
They talk it up all night
They 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 wanna tiptoe, walk around it
Wave the flag and mindlessly salute
Woah, woah they don't want to talk about it
They wanna tiptoe, walk around it
Wave the flag and cowardly salute

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, don't want to
We don't wanna talk about it
(We don't want to)
We don't, don't want to, we don't wanna talk

They don't want to talk talk
Talk talk talk about it
They wanna tiptoe, walk around it
Wave the flag and cowardly salute woah, woah
They don't want to talk about it
They wanna tiptoe, walk around it
Wave the flag and cowardly salute
