John Butler Trio - Media lyrics

What you watch, what you read

What you percieve is to be truth

It is all so subjective

So what you believe is up to you

But what are we to believe in

Between the lies and the truth? Youth

Media has vested interest

So what you believe is up to you.

But how are we to make sense of these turbulent times

When all they do is censor our minds

Only telling what they want us to know

Only half of the story told

So what is wrong? What is right?

No truth can there be seen

Well it's all there in your new religion

Just turn on your TV screen

Watch the sex and drugs and all that violence

Look what they are feeding you

Propaganda yes indeed its,

its all there to confuse

But how are we to make sense of these turbulent times

When all they do is brainwash our minds

Only telling what they want us to know

Only half of the story told

And if the truth can't be found

I'll find my own underground

And if the truth is never to be seen

I'll find my own in between

What you watch, what you read

What you percieve is to be truth

It is all so subjective

So what you believe is up to you

But what are we to believe in

Between the lies and the truth? Youth

Media has vested interest

So what you believe is up to you.

You know its up to you

Don't believe the lies, read between the lines,

Don't believe the lies, critically analyse
