(Music & Lyrics by Tom Levin)
Don’t believe in what you read and see
Public relations reality
Quality and thoroughness
Cost too much for the TV and press
Speed and quantity substitute
For the news that is absolute
What can PR do to you
What you receive, well is it true
What is going on
Who is right who’s wrong
Will we ever know
Oh, no, I don’t think so
Reality is worse than “Wag the Dog,”
You elected a demagogue
He’s got the power to buy the news
He’ll do anything to find an excuse
What makes you think it’s the truth you get
When all you need is a movie set?
Soldiers don’t know what they’re fighting for
Throw in a t-shirt and they’ll fight some more
What is going on
Who is right who’s wrong
To confuse or accuse
Propaganda news
Will we ever know
Oh, no, I don’t think so
