Good News

6am roll out of bed
 I stick my coffee in a cup
 I switch on, my TV
 And wonder why I bothered getting up
 Spreading fear and paranoia
 And like parasites they feed
 Breeding hate and animosity
 Between people of all creeds
 It's not naivety, or innocence
 My head's not in the sand
 But the media, has gone way too far
 And lost touch with the common man
 Spinning story after story
 Making everything unclear
 There's taxes, cuts and murders
 And it's all worse than last year
 It's a platform, for the rich elite
 To get their propaganda heard
 They're known, as the voice of the people
 And to me that's fucking absurd
 Politicians argue semantics
 In their plush leather backed seats
 Oblivious to, the pain and the anger
 And the violence on the streets
 So why can't you see?
 They spoon feed you these lies
 To keep us all marching in line
 And there will come a time
 For you to open up your eyes
 They spoon feed you these lies
 To keep us all marching in line
 And there will come a time
 For you to make up your own mind

 Whatever happened to good news?
 We're forced to obey
 We're never taught to choose
 Whatever happened to good news?
 When you think for yourself
 They're the only ones that lose
 Surely there should be a balance
 Good and bad combined
 Tell people what's really going on
 And let them make up their own minds
 The world is not as dark
 As they want us to believe
 Being scared keeps you where you are
 But information will set you free
 They spoon feed us these lies
 To keep us all marching in line
 And there will come a time
 For you to open up your eyes
 They spoon feed us these lies
 To keep us all marching in line
 And there will come a time
 For you to make up your own mind
 Whatever happened to good news?
 We're forced to obey
 We're never taught to choose
 Whatever happened to good news?
 When you think for yourself
 They're the only ones that lose
