Mass Medium - Robert Wyatt

And as history slips out of view

Bated breath for the nine o’clock news

Reassembled right before your very eyes:

Innuendo, rumour and lies

Endless fun and games

Steal a headline, name some names

We’re so proud that our press feels so free

To manipulate them, you and me

And as each campaign begins

To absolve us of our sins

I see freedom sold by the yard

It’s so easy — why make it hard?
