Mass Medium

Robert Wyatt

Compositor: Robert Wyatt

And as history slips out of view
Bated breath for the nine o'clock news
Reassembled right before your very eyes
Innuendo rumour and lies

Endless fun and games steal a headline
Name some names
We're so proud that our press feel so free
To manipulate them, you and me

And as each campaign begins
To absolve us of our sins
I see freedom sold by the yard
It's so easy, why make it hard?
