"Media Blackout" lyrics


AUS ROTTEN LYRICS

"Media Blackout"

Objective reporting no longer exists
The reporter's accountability has always been dismissed
The government keeps control with their hypnotized support
And the media lends a hand when they consistently distort
They compromise their principles and their integrity is lacking
How can they be unbiased with big business financial backing?
Money and deception is what the media's all about
Because if they can't suppress the media they just fucking buy them out

Report to distort
Inform to reform
Suppress to oppress
Media blackout

Major industries of power behind a public media front
It isn't the better ratings that these networks want
They're competing for the billions spent by the advertising industry
Networks are now owned by Westinghouse and Disney
The media is just another industry they now monopolized
They now have the final word of those meant to criticize
We can't change or even understand the problems that keep us bound
If the structure's alarm system doesn't ever make a sound

Report to distort
Inform to reform
Suppress to oppress
Media blackout

The first and foremost goal of the American media system
Is not to inform but to influence the public opinion
When you control what the people see you control the peoples' minds
And an independent unbiased source gets harder and harder to find
We have to seek out the alternatives to the paper and the news
Their stranglehold won't weaken while we're force-fed all of their views
You have to think for yourself always consider the source
Oppression of the people isn't always done with force

Report to distort
Inform to reform
Suppress to oppress
Media blackout
