|
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 |
|
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 |
