I nod my head

(Music by Tom Levin & Carl Ekerstam. Lyrics by Tom Levin)

Narrower angle on a wider screen
A current wave on a flooded mainstream
I cant’ make headlines or tales of the game
A media freeway with only one lane

Complicated truth is simply too hard to bear
Consciously I am unaware

Not what I want but what I like
Colored opinions in black and white
In the telling nothing is said
I whisper no as I nod my head

There was a time when the truth was in bold
Now lower case commandments fit in the mold
Pulling of ratings are pushing the sales
And we will pay the price for believing tall tales

Complicated truth is simply too hard to bear
Asking myself do I really care

Not what I want but what I like
Colored opinions in black and white
In the telling nothing is said
I whisper no as I nod my head

Take a fact let it spin
Any loser could win
And the doctors will make us believe it
Take a lie make it grow
They know no one will know
That the lie is a truth when we receive it

Not what I want but what I like
Colored opinions in black and white
In the telling nothing is said
I whisper no as I’m nodding my head
Not what I want but what I like
Colored opinions in black and white
In the telling nothing is said
I whisper no as I nod my head
