"MANUFACTURING CONSENT"
the big stick or the big lie
take your pick then say
at least we have it better
than that other country has it
cause here we manufacture consent
oh and lots of war supplies
Its funny why don't the companies
just stop selling weapons
for them to buy
we want the big lie
tell it to me again
so i can sleep at night
a mass hypnotic lullaby
the military system
is to an extent a mechanism
by which the general population
is compelled to provide a subsidy
to high technology industry
they put it on the front page
scolding so blatantly
"dissent costs us victories"
be afraid, be very
the story hasn't been picked up
by any of the major media
which we've come to rely on
to represent the collective reality
and it's gotten to the point
where you don't know what to believe
outside of the mainstream
the only validation you know
is just a filtering of information
we want the big lie
tell it to me again
so i can sleep at night
we all just want to shut our eyes
