The Press Corpse Lyrics - For Blood & Empire - Anti Flag

The {Downing Street} memo says... 

...We gotta work to make the facts fit the false charges 

Pull the wool over the eyes of the filthy masses 

Stab the people in the back for the corporate choice 

Roll the propaganda out using The People's Voice 

We don't want to talk about it... 

The press scribble scribble every half-truth spoke 

Then shoot it round the country like an April Fools joke 

Hype the nation for a Desert Storm love affair 

Wave the stars and stripes like you just don't care! 

They talk it up all day, they talk it up all night 

They talk until their face turns blue - Red white and blue! 

But when the truth escapes the night and crawls into the day 

We find the picture still askew 

They don't want to... talk talk talk talk talk about it 

They wanna tiptoe, walk around it 

Wave the flag and mindlessly salute 

Oh! Whoa! 

They don't want to talk about it 

They wanna tiptoe, walk around it 

Wave the flag and cowardly salute 

Ohhhhh, whoa! 

And on the TV screen... 

...Diversion and aversion is the flavor of the day 

Was it WMDs? Or Democracy? 

Blame it on MI-6 or the CIA 

The White House Press Corpse only has one thing to say... 

"We don't want to talk about it!" 

The White House boils over, "Al Jazeera got it wrong!" 

The Press Corpse jumps onboard singing the White House song 

While over in Iraq thousands are dead because of lies 

The spineless war drumming-press corpse have taken lives 

They talk it up all day, they talk it up all night 

They talk until their face turns blue - Red white and blue! 

But when the truth escapes the night and crawls into the day 

We find the picture still askew 

They don't want to... talk talk talk talk talk about it 

They wanna tiptoe, walk around it 

Wave the flag and mindlessly salute 

Oh! Whoa! 

They don't want to talk about it 

They wanna tiptoe, walk around it 

Wave the flag and cowardly salute 

Ohhhhh, whoa! 

Fires fueled on endless lies 

Black shrouds coat desert skies 

A nation's viewpoint blurred and led 

As embeds report what they're fed 

We don't want to talk about it... 

We don't want to talk about it... 

We don't want to talk about it... 

We don't want to talk about it... 

(We don't want to talk about it...) 

We don't, don't want to, we don't wanna talk about it 

(We don't want to...) 

We don't, don't want to, we don't wanna talk 

They don't want to... talk talk talk talk talk about it 

They wanna tiptoe, walk around it 

Wave the flag and cowardly salute 

Oh! Whoa! 

They don't want to talk about it 

They wanna tiptoe, walk around it 

Wave the flag and cowardly salute 

Ohhhhh, whoa!
