lyrics

My TV never lies to me
Only shows me things that I want to see
It speaks and I agree, so I know it's true

It says that war is bad and peace is good
We shouldn't fight unless we should
And you're an angel or a devil if you bleed red white and blue

But when you ask the right questions, the answers are always clear
And if you want me to believe you, tell me what I want to hear

I demand an apology
I stand in solidarity
Though I've never met whose cause I'm fighting for

We're alike; we're so oppressed
We both want our needs addressed
We've got everything we wanted, and now we want some more

And if you want to be enlightened, you know what you've got to do
You've got to hate your parents, and hate your home town too

My TV only lies to me
Only shows me things that I want to see
It says what's on my mind, but it isn't true

Peace is bad and war is good
We shouldn't fight unless we should
And you're an angel or a devil, if you bleed red white and blue

But when you ask the right questions, the answers are always clear
And if you want me to believe you, tell me what I want to hear

If you want me to believe you, tell me what I want to hear
