about
Truth is illegal. Orwell was way too right. "I'm tired of setting right in two minutes what the radio and papers have been setting wrong for years". William Stafford. It's got a deep warm groove, with reflective word painting from the piano. Watch out as the guitar and piano go BIG in the mid section. "It's all lies." (and marketing)
lyrics
Ministry of Lies
I’ve been working all night at the Ministry Of Lies.
I’ve been telling you what to fear and who to despise.
I wear a tailored suit, from a fabric of lies.
I weave you with my word spells as I pull the wool over your eyes.
I’ve been speaking in forked tongues as the smears deceive the eye.
I learned these tricks at the university, the university of lies.
I’m qualified to lie too you..
So i’ve been tapping at the keys at the ministry.
Where we’ve been rewriting history,
Where words are a means to an end.
Yes, we know them and how they can bend.
We’ve been torturing truth, fabricating the proof.
Trust is traumatised as the people, as the people die. While I lie.
It’s all lies..
We’ve got a whistle blowing policy.
Lock them up and throw away the key.
They bring shame to our profession,
So we write up their confession.
Word in from the swamp is we’ll hang them high and dry.
Your democracy has been edited and revised.
So you play the game, I’ll tell you why.
I’ll write you a story, a story for you to buy.
Yes you’re all free, so long as you comply.
Here take my card from this pack of lies; this pack of lies.
I’ve been paying my rent. I’ve been paying my rent every day.
I’ve been paying my rent every day at the Ministry Of Lies.
