British Colonialism & the BBC - Chumbawamba (恰巴王八)[00:00:00]
I'm the boss of the BBC[00:00:07]
I'm the monkey at the top of the media tree[00:00:10]
Your version of the riots in Cape Town[00:00:20]
Comes second-hand from me[00:00:22]
Chewing and spewing this revolution[00:00:26]
For popular TV[00:00:30]
All your opinions are carefully chosen[00:00:33]
By what we'll let you see[00:00:36]
Televised crap dressed up as fact[00:00:39]
Your soap reality[00:00:42]
We only want a chance to show the Editor's side[00:00:46]
Of struggle in the news[00:00:49]
Closer and closer to the State's eye view[00:00:53]
And further from the truth[00:00:56]
Push a microphone to the mouth of this youth[00:00:59]
Bewildered and confused[00:01:02]
Misreported distorted misquoted[00:01:05]
A ready-made victim to be used[00:01:08]
Quote you on things that you never said[00:01:12]
Put this pencil to your head[00:01:15]
Kill your revolution dead[00:01:19]
TV tells us what to be and what to say and what to do[00:01:36]
How to act and how to lie but never question why[00:01:39]
Fighting to stop this mass-deception[00:01:43]
Fighting to scrap the pass-laws[00:01:49]
Fighting to end misuse of land[00:01:56]
Fighting to close down diamond mines[00:02:02]
Fighting to feed their hungry mouths[00:02:09]
Fighting to change the world[00:02:16]
And here we sit on a fence[00:02:18]
Built by distance and enforced by lies[00:02:25]
Is a full stomach all it takes[00:02:31]
To keep us pacified[00:02:34]
