A take on mainstream media

lyrics

The News (Rob Ross)

The news, the news, It’s a terrible world, it says
With one hand they give, with the other they take away
Giving us nightmares in well-measured doses
And showing us faces that get up our noses

I don’t want them you can have them
If you want them … you can have them

The press, the press, got the whole world in a mess
They don’t give a damn; just look out for themselves
They’ve got us thinking like they want us to
There ain’t no way out for me and you

I don’t want them, you can have them
If you want them … you can have them
