Aus-Rotten - Media Blackout lyrics

Objective reporting no longer exists
The reporters' accountability has
Always been dismissed
The government keeps control with
Their hypnotized support
And the media lends a hand
When they consistently distort
They compromise their principles and
Their integrity is lacking
How can they be unbiased with
Big business financial backing?
Money and deception is what
The media's all about
Because if they can't suppress the media
They just fucking buy them out

Report to distort inform to reform
Suppress to oppress media blackout

Major industries of power behind
A public media front
It isn't the better ratings
That these networks want
They're competing for the billions spent
By the advertising industry
Networks are now owned by
Westinghouse and Disney
The media is just another
Industry they now monopolized
They now have the final word
Of those meant to criticize
We can't change or even understand the
Problems that keep us bound
If the structure's alarm system doesn't
Ever make a sound

Report to distort inform to reform
Suppress to oppress media blackout

Report to distort inform to reform
Suppress to oppress media blackout

The first and foremost goal of
The American media system
Is not to inform but to
Influence the public opinion
When you control what the people see
You control the peoples' minds
And an independent unbiased source gets
Harder and harder to find
We have to seek out the alternatives
To the papers and the news
Their stranglehold won't weaken while we're
Force-fed all of their views
You have to think for yourself
Always consider the source
Oppression of the people isn't
Always done with force

Tax Shelter aus-Rotten
The System Works for Them aus-Rotten
Running Up That Hill (A Deal with God)
Kate Bush
