[The contra terrorist freedom fighters Moral equivalent of our attorney general Were sighted coming from the camps in Honduras which of course don't exist] I read the papers almost everyday I want to know what's happening now I don't understand a word they say What's most important seems to get left out Freedom fighter or terrorist Depends on who's the journalist's boss Don't try to tell me who's a communist Just tell me what it's gonna cost I'm so confused there ain't no education I'm so confused we could use some explanation I'm so confused I feel all hope is lost Every time I hear a news reporter start to talk Newspeak - why is everybody talking Newspeak - I don't understand it Newspeak - Laugh it's a joke And they wonder why nobody wants to vote I keep my TV flashing faithfully I hear what the talk shows have to say Costs 20 million to be president That's called democracy today Who owns the media I want to know They let us think we're in control Who's gonna bust the thought police When everybody's on their payroll I'm so confused I'm so frustrated I'm so confused and baby I graduated I'm so confused I feel all hope is lost Every time I hear a politician start to talk Newspeak - why is everybody talking Newspeak - I don't understand it Newspeak - laugh it's a joke And they wonder why nobody wants to vote I am a revolutionary Please define your terms
