And as history slips out of view
Bated breath for the nine o'clock news
Reassembled right before your very eyes:
Innuendo rumour and lies
Endless fun and games
Steal a headline name some names
We're so proud that our press feel so free
To manipulate them you and me
And as each campaign begins
To absolve us of our sins
I see freedom sold by the yard
It's so easy –why make it hard
