Media Blackout (Lyrics)

Objective reporting no longer exists The reporter's accountability has always been dismissed The government keeps control with their hypnotized support And the media lends a hand when they consistently distort They compromise their principles and their integrity is lacking How can they be unbiased with big business financial backing? Money and deception is what the media's all about Because if they can't suppress the media they just fucking buy them out Report to distort Inform to reform Suppress to oppress Media blackout Major industries of power behind a public media front It isn't the better ratings that these networks want They're competing for the billions spent by the advertising industry Networks are now owned by Westinghouse and Disney The media is just another industry they now monopolized They now have the final word of those meant to criticize We can't change or even understand the problems that keep us bound If the structure's alarm system doesn't ever make a sound Report to distort Inform to reform Suppress to oppress Media blackout The first and foremost goal of the American media system Is not to inform but to influence the public opinion When you control what the people see you control the peoples' minds And an independent unbiased source gets harder and harder to find We have to seek out the alternatives to the paper and the news Their stranglehold won't weaken while we're force-fed all of their views You have to think for yourself always consider the source Oppression of the people isn't always done with force Report to distort Inform to reform Suppress to oppress Media blackout
