Fact and Fiction
Unveiling the Illusion: Fact and Fiction in a World of Deceit
Lyrics
TV is switched on
Turning on the television
The screen reveal a spokesperson
A spokesperson appears on the screen
Adverts, politics, editing the real
Content includes advertisements, politics, and manipulated reality
Cheap words, money talks
Use of superficial words, where money holds significant influence
Naming itself to be the key
Referring to itself as the solution or answer
To utopia, cornucopia
Aspiring towards a perfect and abundant society
To a better world you go buy and buy
Encouraging a consumer-driven approach for a better world
And if you listen carefully
Encouraging attentive listening to detect insincerities
You can hear the bacon fly
Satirical reference to absurdities, like hearing bacon flying
Don't make me laugh!
Repetition emphasizing disbelief or mockery
Don't make me laugh!
-Don't make me laugh!
-Don't make me laugh!
-History shows that policy demands weapons
Noting historical patterns where policies often require weapons
Selfish desires simply lead to pain
Selfish desires leading to inevitable suffering
The chit-chat continues
Continuation of superficial conversation and deception
A big pretence that divides
A significant pretense causing division
Into power blocks
Formation of power blocs based on this pretense
Where the orthodox
Reference to orthodox groups engaged in a propaganda war
Have a propaganda war to fight
Fighting for ideological dominance
And if you're looking closely
Encouraging close observation to reveal contradictions
You can see that black is white
Suggesting that appearances can be deceiving
Don't make me laugh!
Repetition of disbelief or mockery
Don't make me laugh!
-Don't make me laugh!
-Don't make me laugh!
-If the unthinkable should happen
Contemplating a scenario of unimaginable events
And you hear the sirens call
Reference to the possibility of hearing warning sirens
Well you can always find some shelter
Suggesting finding shelter when faced with adversity
Behind a door against the wall
Seeking refuge behind a door against the wall
Don't make me laugh!
Repetition of disbelief or mockery
Don't make me laugh!
-Don't make me laugh!
-Don't make me laugh!
