Anti Flag The Press Corpse Lyrics

The Press Corpse Lyrics

The {Downing Street} memo says...



...We gotta work to make the
facts fit the false charges

Pull the wool over the eyes of the filthy
masses

Stab the people in the back for the corporate choice

Roll
the propaganda out using The People's Voice



We don't want to talk
about it...



The press scribble scribble every half-truth spoke

Then shoot it round the country like an April Fools joke

Hype the nation
for a Desert Storm love affair

Wave the stars and stripes like you just
don't care!



They talk it up all day, they talk it up all night

They talk until their face turns blue - Red white and blue!

But when the
truth escapes the night and crawls into the day

We find the picture still
askew



They don't want to... talk talk talk talk talk about it

They wanna tiptoe, walk around it

Wave the flag and mindlessly
salute

They don't want to talk about it

They wanna tiptoe, walk
around it

Wave the flag and cowardly salute



And on the TV
screen...

...Diversion and aversion is the flavor of the day

Was it
WMDs? Or Democracy?

Blame it on MI-6 or the CIA

The White House
Press Corpse only has one thing to say...



"We don't want to talk
about it!"



The White House boils over, "Al Jazeera got it
wrong!"

The Press Corpse jumps onboard singing the White House song

While over in Iraq thousands are dead because of lies

The spineless war
drumming-press corpse have taken lives



They talk it up all day,
they talk it up all night

They talk until their face turns blue - Red
white and blue!

But when the truth escapes the night and crawls into the
day

We find the picture still askew



They don't want to...
talk talk talk talk talk about it

They wanna tiptoe, walk around it

Wave the flag and mindlessly salute

They don't want to talk about
it

They wanna tiptoe, walk around it

Wave the flag and cowardly
salute



Fires fueled on endless lies

Black shrouds coat
desert skies

A nation's viewpoint blurred and led

As embeds report
what they're fed



We don't want to talk about it...

We don't
want to talk about it...

We don't want to talk about it...

We don't
want to talk about it...



(We don't want to talk about it...) 

We don't, don't want to, we don't wanna talk about it

(We don't want
to...) 

We don't, don't want to, we don't wanna talk



They
don't want to... talk talk talk talk talk about it

They wanna tiptoe,
walk around it

Wave the flag and cowardly salute

They don't want to
talk about it

They wanna tiptoe, walk around it

Wave the flag and
cowardly salute
