you read the paper watch the news and think you're well informed
well i got some news for you my friend
that headline that you read another story that broke
was a scandal and a scam political masterstroke
they tell you what they want you to hear
close your eyes and open your ears

(it's easy) yeah it's easier that way
(you don't) you don't have to think for yourself you say

yeah they're tellin you lies they're telling you lies
cos you read it all in black and white

hey ma ma hey ma lay lie

every day you and me we see what we are shown
yes it's hard to scratch below
there are people at the top they are hidden far from view
they're not gonna show their faces to the likes of me and you
you never see them out on the street
but you'll always see the things that they do

(they know) they know they can get away
(no price) and no price is too high for them to pay

yeah they're tellin you lies they're telling you lies
it's very simple, it's in black and white
it's on your tv
we got everything you need to believe
yeah they're tellin you lies they're telling you lies
and all the while they're telling you lies
and all the while they're telling you lies
and all the while they're telling you lies lies lies
lies lies lies
