An elaborate con on the common man Propelled by your massive media plan. And I can see your hostile takeover, greed and your lies. Turning what I love into what I despise. [Chorus] It's a tale of mass deception, destruction, corruption And I'm under the assumption the government will function By a clear and present danger, I'm fearing a stranger Corporation of fear and mind control They gotta go You're telling lies to cover all those tracks But it's misinformation, any honesty it lacks Your faces now testify how it all went wrong A nation taken for a ride and strung along [Chorus] Suffering the wrath, or the iminate collapse The result for the ignorance of assorted past Will I watch it all crash? Your departure at long last? Only the yearn for some honesty here. So you got the dictator but why go lie About the poision, the atomic fry Went on PR tour with honchos in tow Told the world a big lie about all that you know [Chorus] Tale of mass deception, tale of mass deception [repeat x4]
