Propaganda Superpower from PLASTIC PROPAGANDA by Plastic Propaganda

PROPAGANDA SUPERPOWER
let’s have another war in the streets
said the police man and cried out for a gun
they won’t have us down on our knees
said the protester on the run
paper headlines screaming, television’s beaming
the glory of the coppers’ hour, propaganda superpower
no matter what, the cause is lost
when a brick meets a bottle in the fight and the trouble
the lines are drawn, the first stone is cast
and when they charged the truth was put to rest
the fighters for a better home lay bleeding on the cobblestone
a baton in the ribs makes way for marble cribs
Just cause, much applause
mums brought their kids that day
yobs and thugs
that’s what the papers say
rights given, then denied
you tell me who asked for a fight
people gather to make things better
but the newsmen shout out lout
‘that’s a terrorist crowd!’
