21st Century Blues

[Verse 1] Used to be you could trust what you heard The channels were three When news didn't seem so absurd The words set you free Now they tell you what to think And that the sky is green Am I the only one to see that it's a big machine Someone tell me... [Chorus] How can we believe the world is round (I just can't conceive it) All we see and hear the truth has drown (It's all but disappeared) How can we believe the world is round (It's hard to perceive it) Shake your head and scream but there's no sound (We've got the 21st Century Blues) [Verse 2] Now here and now everything's upside down It's all a big lie Some with suits will shoot up the town They won't be denied How many people got to die before we lend a hand I can see myself living in their promised land Someone help me [Chorus] [Bridge] Now they tell you what to think and that the sky is green Am I the only one to see that it's a big machine [Chorus]
