Lyrics:
I hear you talkin’ on the TV
A pitch-man hawkin’ a false reality
You raised it to an art
You've torn this State apart
Orchestrating a grand illusion
Too many wading in the confusion
You raised it to an art
You've torn this State apart
Juggling numbers, twisting statistics
All hunky-dory, unrealistic
You raised it to an art
You've torn this State apart
Mug for the camera, we see thru you
Don’t need a polygraph to know we’ve been lied to
You raised it to an art
You've torn this State apart
You hurt my neighbors with your agenda
Anti-labor, corporate defender
You raised it to an art
You've torn this State apart
Painting things rosy, you caught ‘em nappin’
Common sense shows me your mouth is crappin’
You raised it to an art
You've torn this State apart
You can fool some people by being clever
But all the people won’t be fooled forever
A reckoning will start.
You've torn this State apart
You’ve broken faith, and broken hearts
You've torn this State apart
