Whoever controls the air waves
controls the world and what is seen
Whoever controls whats allowed to be said
Controls the state and who we’ve been
whoever can control the image
and replace it with their own
whoever can silence discontent
have the power to abuse condone

In China, the old USSR
The Iran of our today
The United States
North Korea
The BBC,Aljazera,Fox in the USA

The press of business or establishment
All control the news
We only hear what they want us to hear
as they shape us to their views

Meanwhile a world war is raging
fought from state to state
Its a war thats never ending
a war fought with tongues of hate

Tell me how you see it
Tell me what you’ve heard
And I will tell of what you never see
and of words which are preferred

In the source of every argument
There are more sides than just one
and in the control of your own thought waves
the power struggle must go on

You are persuaded by selective argument
You are shaped with selective news
and the shifting sands of opinion
are manipulatively construed

You are the prize in this fierce battle
you are an agent of the state
every time that you believe
and pronounce what they dictate
the propaganda war goes on forever
it never ever stops
with every government or dictator
you’re thought controlled
or imprisoned, tortured,shot

people may kill each other
without the encouragement
of religion or of state
but ideologies exist for the powerful
to parasitically feed upon our fates

We are conditioned from the time were born
by the society which we live in
by our parents,media,teachers
passing on their inherited biased sins

For they were all conditioned
long before we came
In the war which never ends
and always remains the same

The political ideologies
or the religions they construed
The christian,Muslim,Hindu,Athiest or Jew
all fighting over power
The power of GOD or None
To shape the earth and all that in it
to the exclusiveness of One

In the war where were the prisoner
In the war that lasts forever
which never makes the news
but binds us all together
The war thats fought over you and me
and the children of our age
to the following generations
of willing unwitting slaves

Without such manipulations
the cattle would never fight
without such deep persuasion
of what is wrong or right

I leave you with one question
who dies by the mortar or the gun?
Its not the statesman in the government
its someone elses mothers son!
