(featuring Steven Neufield of "Hey Mike")
|
|
Give me headlines that grab
|
and shocking detail
|
Hide the facts in section E
|
Where no one will see
|
I can't tell which is news
|
and which is retail.
|
It all looks the same to me
|
and it's said with urgency
|
so it must be true and you must
|
accept it from their point of view
|
you better hop on board or miss the
|
grand parade...
|
|
(CHORUS 1)
|
and that's how consent is made, from
|
the manifold masses
|
so long as the man gets paid
|
no one will question
|
offering thrills in trade
|
and that's how money's made
|
|
Who can tell between fast
|
and rash assumption
|
when the world comes down the wire.
|
Those who propagate fear
|
promote mass consumption
|
all the publishers desire
|
so the proof is not required
|
'cause if you don't think it's true then
|
there must be something screwed up
|
with you
|
because everyone else has joined the
|
big charade...
|
|
(CHORUS 2)
|
and that's how consent is made
|
from the millions of morons
|
so long as the bill gets paid
|
no one will question
|
offering thrills in trade
|
and that's how money's made
|
|
We don't need an excuse anymore
|
we can bend half truths and fabricate
|
a war
|
if the details don't pan out
|
we can smash all those who doubt
|
so it must be true and you must bow
|
down to the Red, White and Blue
|
you better hop on board and join the
|
great crusade...
|
|
(CHORUS 2)
|
and that's how money's made (3X)
|
|
that's how money is made
|
I don't want to pay the price
|
it gets paid
|
it's a downward spiral. (repeat)
