The New American Way

Self-delusion and freedom illusion.

Welcome to the new world!

Commercial break for an info infusion

It’s enough to make me hurl.



Sit down, relax and suck it in

They’ll tell you what you think

Focus on the latest spin

And catch it all, don’t blink



Brokaw, Walters and Donaldson too

You’re all the fuckin’ rage

Controlling what we hear each night

The information sage  



Traitors to a discipline

Once sacred in this land

Journalism the new world way

They’ll lead you by the hand



To racist bigotry in the guise

Of heightened civility

It’s the politics of feel good tricks

And intolerance you see



Just sit and listen without thought

To their mindless repartee

Crack a beer and eat some chips

It’s the new American Way

It's about time to wake up!
