Welcome to the Holy City; the silver screen Built with a lens and a low self esteem A teenager's plea for meaning and memes We're selling the news
See, opinions are easier to swallow than facts The greys instead of the whites and the blacks If you shoot it too straight it won't come back We're selling the news
See, money speaks volumes louder than words And virtues with wings, maybe not quite at first But salaries are paid by the ads not the verbs We're selling the news
See, all men are equal; all is for sale A powerful dog has been chasing his tail The lowest common denominator prevails We're selling the news
I wanna believe you, I wanna believe But everything is in-between The fact is fiction, the fact is fiction
I wanna believe you, I wanna believe But everything is in-between The fact is fiction Suspicion is the new religion
America listens as the story is told With the eye on the truth as the story unfolds But the ratings determine which story was sold We're selling the news
Begging the question, mongering fears Stroking the eyes and tickling ears The truth is seldom just as it appears We're selling the news
I wanna believe you, I wanna believe But everything is in-between The fact is fiction, the fact is fiction
I wanna believe you, I wanna believe But everything is in-between The fact is fiction, the fact is fiction
I can see your talking heads On the television set On the Internet they said The fact is fiction
Suspicion is the new religion
Substance, oh, substance, where have you been? You've been replaced by the masters of spin Who make good looking books and write history in We're selling the news
The lines start to blur; I get so confused I get shiny new models mixed up with the blues I get binary code mixed up with abuse The facts are simply one option to choose
When nothing is sacred, there's nothing to lose When nothing is sacred, all is consumed We're still on the air, it must be the truth We're selling the news
I wanna believe you, I wanna believe But everything is in-between The fact is fiction, the fact is fiction
I wanna believe you, I wanna believe But everything is in-between The fact is fiction, the fact is fiction
I wanna believe you, I wanna believe But everything I see is green The fact is fiction
