Alexipharmic - Fox News lyrics

Born with a silver spoon and a money made carriage A youth sheltered from the truth till abandoned by his parents Rupert Murdoch became a true Citizen Kane Daddy's paper inherited, put all doubters to shame To sustain a paradigm bent on world domination Five decades, conglomerates, a network's abomination Print, television, film, a neat little package Buy up all competition, avoid excess baggage The empire created, the next noble pursuit Buy any willing politician with the excess loot Now in Ronald Reagan's pocket, pushing outwards from home To Ariel Sharone and countless other leaders, to bone The middle man, working class, told what to enjoy What actions to pursue, what habits to employ Behind the scenes , Fox News, the blueprint of a fiend Eradicate free-thinking - the American Dream [Chorus:] Fox News is sheltered up in an oil-funded palace Drink the working class' sweat from a gold-plated chalice Oppress third-world countries through never-ending malice Now you look in my eyes - tell me you're Fair and you're Balanced Robert Ailes, big kahuna, set in charge of the news To pursue, the 'Right' angle, every anchor white dudes Or white women, dyed hair, no want in journalism Plan to overthrow your minds with packaged patriotism On the roster: Bill O'Reilly, nothing short of Satan's clone Grabbing ankles for pigs, we're in the "No Spin Zone" Alan Colmes: if he's a liberal, Billy Graham is as well And Sean Hannity's his altar boy - it ain't hard to tell And what passes for news is simple propagandist sight Home movies of George Bush with Entertainment Tonight Breaking news around the clock on Michael Jackson's arraignment A flak story - flagged coffins, call Brit Hume for containment Fear mongering of terrorism, downplaying the war's death Kill 100,000 Iraqis and portraying we're blessed Well shit, you don't say, the terror alert's orange? I'll strap C4 to my chest and bomb Fox News with my boys [Chorus x2:] Fox News is sheltered up in an oil-funded palace Drink the working class' sweat from a gold-plated chalice Oppress third-world countries through never-ending malice Now you look in my eyes and tell me you're Fair and you're Balanced Demoralizing free speech and free press at the hands Of a company, that in the eighties, supported the Taliban Is under way, hulking towards us a towering behemoth A juggernaut beyond the reach of our government, believe this It IS the government, now the media's taken over No longer the 4th branch, choose what happens to our soldiers And the world's grown colder, we're spoon-fed lies to save Face, and stay safe, and keep us knotted in our place But it's time to break the bonds, break away from artificial Emancipate your mind, eliminate the superficial Have a backbone, for Christ's sake, this isn't a dress rehearsal It's our lives, it's all that's given, repercussions universal Ignorance is no excuse for accepting the actions Enacted by a militia - representing crazed factions The best start to the end of the finish line to succeed Is to stand up, turn off the TV and read...read
