The Underground Man Lyrics - Payola - Desaparecidos

You were calling out from the underground 

You had lots of big ideas but no one can hear them now 

They riddled you with guilt 

They tempted you with wealth 

They twisted all your words 

They made you hate yourself 

So now you do your schtick, a loyal patriot 

And you toe the party line even though it makes you sick 

They gave you talking points 

They taught you double-speak 

They forced you into war 

By saying you were weak

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

They signed your checks til they had you in the bag 

They scared you blind then draped you in a flag 

Made you a man at Ft. Bragg 

Photos 

You'll do good business as an apologist 

If you exaggerate their facts, if you perpetuate their myths 

They made activism trite 

They made honor optional 

They made propaganda news 

They made science radical 

They pulled your teeth til you smiled and agreed 

They slit you throat and buried you at sea 

All for the land of the free
