[00:00.66] Anti-Flag The Press Corpse Lyrics
[00:01.90] The (Downing Street) memo says...
[00:02.68] ...We gotta work to make the facts fit
[00:03.82] the false charges
[00:04.84] Pull the wool over the eyes of
[00:06.43] the filthy masses
[00:07.74] Stab the people in the back for
[00:09.09] the corporate choice
[00:10.20] Roll the propaganda out using
[00:11.59] The People's Voice
[00:13.05] We don't want to talk about it...
[00:18.17] The press scribble scribble
[00:18.98] every half-truth spoke
[00:20.44] Then shoot it round the country
[00:21.77] like an April Fools joke
[00:22.92] Hype the nation
[00:23.84] for a Desert Storm love affair
[00:25.78] Wave the stars and stripes
[00:26.83] like you just don't care!
[00:28.29] They talk it up all day
[00:29.43] talk it up all night
[00:30.62] Talk until their face turns
[00:32.04] blue - Red white and blue!
[00:33.32] But when the truth escapes
[00:34.84] the night and crawls into the day
[00:35.91] We find the picture still askew
[00:38.95] They don't want to...
[00:39.83] talk talk talk talk talk about it
[00:42.36] They want tiptoe, walk around it
[00:45.31] Wave the flag and mindlessly salute
[00:47.97] wowo
[00:50.36] They don't want to talk about it
[00:52.64] They want tiptoe, walk around it
[00:55.55] Wave the flag and cowardly salute
[00:57.89] hoho
[01:01.82] And on the TV screen...
[01:02.60] ...Diversion and aversion
[01:03.82] is the flavor of the day
[01:05.14] Was it WMDs? Or Democracy?
[01:07.85] Blame it on MI-6 or the CIA
[01:10.23] The White House Press Corpse
[01:11.85] only has one thing to say...
[01:12.93] "We don't want to talk about it!"
[01:18.13] The White House boils over
[01:19.20] "Al Jazeera got it wrong!"
[01:20.50] The Press Corpse jumps onboard singing
[01:21.89] the White House song
[01:23.06] While over in Iraq thousands
[01:24.39] are dead because of lies
[01:25.61] The spineless war
[01:26.85] drumming-press corpse have taken lives
[01:28.38] They talk it up all day
[01:29.44] talk it up all night
[01:30.62] Talk until their face turns
[01:31.93] blue - Red white and blue!
[01:33.29] But when the truth escapes
[01:34.53] the night and crawls into the day
[01:35.80] We find the picture still askew
[01:39.02] They don't want to...
[01:39.87] talk talk talk talk talk about it
[01:42.31] They want tiptoe, walk around it
[01:44.95] Wave the flag and mindlessly salute
[01:47.64] wowo
[01:50.42] They don't want to talk about it
[01:52.74] They want tiptoe, walk around it
[01:55.31] Wave the flag and cowardly salute
[01:57.85] hoho
[02:01.52]
[02:13.83] Fires fueled on endless lies
[02:16.49] Black shrouds coat desert skies
[02:19.00] A nation's viewpoint blurred and led
[02:21.58] As embeds report what they're fed
[02:24.06]
[02:24.70] We don't want to talk about it
[02:29.11] We don't want to talk about it
[02:34.38] We don't want to talk about it
[02:39.65] We don't want to talk about it
[02:45.16] We don't want to talk about it
[02:50.41] We don't want to talk about it
[02:53.51] We don't want to talk about it
[02:54.10] the night and crawls into the day
[02:54.88] They don't want to...
[02:55.69] talk talk talk talk talk about it
[02:58.22] They want tiptoe, walk around it
[03:00.80] Wave the flag and mindlessly salute
[03:03.68] wowo
[03:06.16] They don't want to talk about it
[03:08.60] They want tiptoe, walk around it
[03:11.14] Wave the flag and cowardly salute
[03:13.80] hoho
[03:17.61]
