Propaganda (Single)

by Some Velvet Morning

/
1.
I know this ground beneath me Is slipping away I hear the message you're preaching I try to escape Oh forgive me, if I'm not myself Oh forgive me, if I don't want your help From experts and preachers From textbooks and teachers It's all propaganda From tabloids and talkshows, From billboards to god knows It's just propaganda There's no time to count the civilian There's work to be done. For until these billions are trillions Then war will go on. Oh forgive me, if I deviate. Oh forgive me, if I try to escape The close up, the soundbite The replay, the gunfight It's all propaganda. The tax cuts and think tanks The loopholes, the world bank.. Oh take a look around ya It's all propaganda Oh forgive me if I deviate Oh forgive me if I try to escape Away from this propaganda of Illusion, confusion, delusion, intrusion It's all propaganda. From New York to Beijing If we lose then they win. From Big Macs to weight loss From junkies to Kate Moss From catwalks to blue jeans From sweatshops to Gucci Oh take a look around ya It's all propaganda.

It’s not your fault the conversation run dry Before you said hello, she'd made up her mind That no-one was good enough That no-one could could measure up That no-one was trustworthy Don't take it personally So what she says, that nothing’s ever enough I know, she just wants to be loved It all goes back two years, three months and four days ago She's early home and hears her man not alone She walks in to see the show The same pairs of chromosomes Two bodies both X & Y right there before her eyes So what she says, that nothing’s ever enough I know, she just wants to be loved She wants to be loved She wants to be loved She wants to be loved She wants to be loved So what she says, that nothing’s ever enough I know, she’s afraid to be loved I see through her disguise I can see in her eyes The protection she tries To keep everyone outside So she's hiding within Until she earns how to win This fight to thicken her skin She just wants to be loved.
