The Truth Will Not Be Televised
Unveiling Deception: The Silent Control Beyond the Screen
Lyrics
We will not be removed from power
We, those in power, will not be removed or replaced easily.
Or replaced with a viable alternative brother
There won't be a viable alternative to replace us.
Yet at the same time
Simultaneously, we have convinced you of something.
We have convinced you that your democracy
We have made you believe that your democracy empowers people to bring about change.
Will enable the people to bring down governments
Democracy is portrayed as a means to bring down governments and induce change.
And there bring about change
The truth about our control will not be shown on television.
The truth will not be televised
We will not reveal the truth through mass media.
And we will not offer you a soldiers truth
We won't present a soldier's truth or advocate love over war.
Or promote the ideas of love over war
We won't acknowledge our mistakes in poverty and ignorance of freedom.
And we will not show you our mistake in poverty
We won't take blame for things we didn't do when needed.
Ignorance in out of freedom
We won't disclose the price of human life.
Freedom
Freedom is reiterated but not necessarily granted.
Freedom
-And we will not take blame
We won't accept blame for actions we didn't take when necessary.
For that which we did not do when it was needed
We won't allow you to know the value of human life.
Nor shall we allow you to know the price of human life
The truth won't be televised, but we'll patronize and spoon-feed you news.
The truth will not be televised
Entertainment and news will be controlled to maintain obedience.
But we will continue to patronise and spoon-feed you
We'll entertain and medicate you with TV and pop acts until you accept a fantasy of gratitude.
With the news that we feel appropriate for your obedience
All mass entertainment will be controlled, preventing subversion.
And in recompense we will entertain you
The truth won't be televised; we'll stand tall with contempt for your applause.
Medicate you with television and pop acts
We claim victory while you lose passion for a revolution.
Until you learn the fantasy of gratitude
We prevent escape from economic, ecological, and democratic tyranny.
And all of mass entertainment shall be controlled
The truth won't be televised; we won't examine ourselves in front of you.
Infecund rendered unable to raise a single act of subversion
We won't do what is right for mankind, Earth, or the poor.
The truth will not be televised
The makers of money have become their own gods as lives become worthless.
And we will stand tall from great heights
We adhere to ancient laws that keep you safe in our treacherous deceit.
And look down upon you
The truth won't be televised; you'll believe your country is superior.
With an idols contempt at your sycophantic applause
Your belief in superiority is strong, justifying armies and love for children.
And we have won and you have lost brother
We are equals, and you believe our propaganda.
For you have not the passion left to muster a revolution
You'll remain plugged in, turned off, and copped out.
To escape our
The truth won't be televised; deception, inequality, and control persist.
Economic
-Ecological
-And democratic tyranny
-The truth will not be televised
-And we will not examine ourselves in front of you
-And we will not do what is right for mankind
-Planet earth or the poor
-Because the makers of money
-Have become have become their own gods
-As lives tumble worthless in quantities untold
-We abide to an ancient set of laws
-That'll keep you safe in our treacherous deceit
-The truth will not be televised
-And all the time you will believe your country
-To be better than theirs
-Your belief is stronger
-Your people more deserving
-Your armies more justified
-And your children more loved
-And we are equal
-And you will believe your own propaganda brother
-And all this time you will be plugged in
-Turned off copped out.
-The truth will not be televised
