Propaganda
Half Dizzy Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Like a match struck
On the boot of a revolutionary
I won't quit til I'm burning
At your fingertips
Fabricate tell me all the lies
That you create
Propaganda blaring
At a steady rate

And I can't see the truth
Behind each lie
The facts are skewed
And I can see division
On each side
Woah Woah
And they're right back at it again
Insighting wars
But they won't wager
Their own
Skin
Woah Woah
And they're right back
At it again
Lying straight to our faces
When will it end
Glass shattered
Terror on your TV screen
Fear level
Higher than its ever been
Fear mongers perpetrate
Behind the scenes
Misdirection tells us
Where to place the blame
And I can't see the truth
Behind each lie
The facts are skewed
And I can see division
On each side
Woah Woah
And they're right back
At it again
Insighting wars
But they won't wager
Their own
Skin
Woah Woah
And they're right back
At it again
Lying straight to our faces
When will it end
It's like screaming at a wall
No one can hear a single
Word at all
Woah Woah
And they're right back
At it again
Insighting wars
But they won't wager
Their own skin
Woah Woah
And they're right back
At it again

Lying straight to our faces
When will it end
