Give me headlines that grab
and shocking detail
Hide the facts in section E
where no one will see
I can't tell which is news
and which is retail
It all looks the same to me
and it's said with urgency

So it must be true
and you must accept it from
their point of view
you better hop on board, or
miss the grand parade

And that's how consent is made
from the manifold masses
So long as the man gets paid
no one will question
Offering thrills in trade
and that's how money's made

Who can tell between fact
and rash assumption
when the word comes down the wire?
Those who propagate fear
promote mass consumption
all the publishers desire
so the proof is not required

If you don't think it's true
then there must be something
screwed up with you

joined the big charade

And that's how consent is made
from the millions of morons
So long as the bill gets paid
no one will question
Offering thrills in trade
and that's how money's made

We don't need an excuse anymore
We can bend half truths
and fabricate a war
If the details don't pan out
we can smash all those who doubt

So it must be true
and you must bow down to the
Red, White and Blue
you better hop on board and
join the great crusade

And that's how consent is made
from the millions of morons
So long as the bill gets paid
no one will question
Offering thrills in trade
and that's how money's made x3

That's how money is made
It gets paid
It's a downward spiral
I don't want to pay the price
