From the recording Faith of Least Resistance - FLAC
Lyrics
THE CAMERA LIE
I've read the columns
I've seen the news
You provide the stories
But you deny the truth
What will you do
When the headlines come for you
What will you do
When the cameras turn on you
Your cameras never shooting straight
Your crooked lenses filming slanted takes
To capture life and freedom
And hand it over to a socialist state
Emergent puppet
Under corporate thumb
You march to the beat
Of someone else's drum
What will you do
When the headlines come for you
What will you do
When the cameras turn on you
Your opinions are as good as proof
For your phony crony camera coup
Projecting clever angles
That push agendas and distort the truth
You divide the country
And make the world go mad
You can't fix the mess
You can't stop the press
What will you do
When the headlines come for you
What will you do
When the cameras turn on you
Developing the negatives
To frame misleading narratives
And paint the orange man bad
And run defense for progressive ills
