More Whitewashing Lyrics

More Whitewashing lyrics

Children in school forced to the desk

Finger the atlas and study the
text

Lies and opinion presented as fact

Taught to accept, and never
to ask

Those smiling workers in Ladybird books

They're not picking
coffee at all

They're busy with bricks and mortar

Building the
company wall

Flickering pictures hypnotize

We spend our lives
watching others' lives

Too much watching to realize

That this is a
smokescreen

And this is why people die

Those smiling news
presenters

They're not reading cue-cards at all

They're busy with
brush and bucket

Whitewashing the company wall

Set yourself up and
play it again

Force the tears and entertain

Sing about a world of
make-believe

Force this charity and leave

Rich people who claim to
know

What's wrong with this world 

Can't know anything at all

They're busy giving the orders

For us to build their second homes

Flickering pictures hypnotize

Flickering pictures hypnotize

And
we who take the orders

And refuse to question it all

We're busy
with spade and Bible

Burying the poor

Burying the poor

Mass-manufactured and given away

Blinkers to get you through your
day

So you'll never ever know to what extent you're involved

Easily
fooled, all your problems solved

You'll say starvation has nothing to do
with you

You saw it in print, so it must be true

And the
documentary explained it all

It's a simple matter of birth control

And if you send a little money you can sleep tonight

Or starve in
sympathy on a Limmits Diet

And you know that charity cures
malnutrition

And hunger put the sparkle back in television

Hunger
put the sparkle back in television

Hunger put the sparkle back in
television
