Doorways closed by stagnant lies
Wasted years through puzzled eyes
Filth is forced through every door
The twisted truth infects the floor
Propaganda
Propaganda
A smiling face decays the screen
A mass design to trick the green
Instructors paid to guide our day
The flock believe in all they say
Propaganda
Yeah
Transparent lies engulf the sky
Console the minds of the passer-by
The truth declines to sit and hear
Electric banners we held so dear
Propaganda
