Network News

Guns, death and noise
Sand, oil and blood
Frontiers drawn on paper
No consideration made forThe poor creature who is living
By the grace of God, just living
He's live on network news
Live on network newsFlags, princes, kings and patriotic tools
As freedom lies in twisted heaps
Whose final breath his soul to keepWhose greatest foe, the endless sleep
Whose dying wish to reach next week
A bloody star on network news
A bloody star on network newsOh yeah, no
Oh yeahTanks, boats and planes
Fire, pain and lies
Environmental terrorists
Tease propaganda's paper fistWhose trade is all the truth that fits
Who often lies but never sits
But on the fence, it's network news
Yes, on the fence, it's network newsHallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Oil, oil, oil, oil
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Oil, oil, oil, oilOoh yeah, ooh yeah
Ooh yeah, ooh yeahThe lion and the serpent parade out in the sun
All order, flex and gesture
All hail the techno, infidel has come
With satellite bravado, infra-red textureBeyond these days in time to come
Whose fate is it to measure
Upon these sands, such damage done
To spoil God's finest treasureOh, beyond these days in time to come
Whose fate is it to measure
Upon these sands, such damage done
To spoil God's finest treasureHallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Oil, oil, oil, oil

Beyond these days in time to come
Who, oh, who is it to measure, ohHallelujah, hallelujahGuns, death and noise
