[Verse 1]
Sit and stare and lose your soul
Just to become the industry’s troll
You’re just the rabbit in their hat
Another pawn in the magic act
[Chorus]
Welcome back to the news
But try to put you in their shoes
Product placement, commercial break
There is nothing they won’t fake
Brewing lies on channel eight
But they’ll never show the war and hate
Hide the story that shows the facts
Once you see it you can, you can, you can never go back
[Verse 2]
Station break flip the switch
Every channel has the same shit
Intelligence is in the eye of the beholder
Just let the hot ashes smolder
Smash the box, win the war
Drop dead straight to the floor
Adjust the light, black to red
Gaze into the talking head
[Verse 3]
Where am I, who are you now?
Where’s the beef in a mad cow?
I want the news, I want it now
How can you do this, I ask you how
There is a way, it’s not the best
Just put yourself to the test
Don’t give up just fight on
If we don’t then we’ll all be gone
[Chorus]
Welcome back to the news
But try to put you in their shoes
Product placement, commercial break
There is nothing they won’t fake
Brewing lies on channel eight
But they’ll never show the war and hate
Hide the story that shows the facts
Once you see it you can, you can, you can never go back
