Selling The News
Switchfoot
Bm
Welcome to the holy city, a silver screen Built with the lens and a low self-esteem A teenagers plea for meaning and means. We're selling the news See, opinions are easier to swallow than facts The grays instead of the whites and the blacks If you shoot it too straight they won't come back. We're selling the news See money speaks volumes louder than words And virtues with wings maybe not quite at first But the salaries are paying for the ad not the verbs. We're selling the news See all men are equal all is for sale A powerful dog has been chasing his tail The lowest common denominator prevails. We're selling the news
I want to believe you. I want to believe but everything is in between. The fact is fiction. The fact is fiction. I want to believe you. I want to believe but everything is in between. The fact is fiction. Suspicion is a new religion.
America listens the story is told With an eye on truth as the story unfolds The ratings determine the story was sold. We're selling the news Begging the question longer in fear Stroking the eyes and tickling ears The truth seldom just as it appears. We're selling the news
I want to believe you. I want to believe but everything is in between. The fact is fiction. The fact is fiction. I want to believe you. I want to believe but everything is in between. The fact is fiction. Suspicion is a new religion.
I can see your talking heads, on the television set. On the internet they said, that fact is fiction. Suspicion is a new religion.
Substance, oh substance! Where have you been? You've been replaced by the masters of spin You make good looking books and write mystery in. We're selling the news. The lines start to blur I get so confused. I get shiny new models mixed up with the blues. I get binary code mixed up with abuse. The facts are simply one option to choose. When nothing is sacred there's nothing to lose. When nothing is sacred all is consumed. Were still on the air it must be the truth. We're selling the news.
I want to believe you. I want to believe but everything is in between. The fact is fiction. The fact is fiction. I want to believe you. I want to believe but everything is in between. The fact is fiction. The fact is fiction.
I want to believe you. I want to believe but everything I see is greed The fact is fiction. Suspicion is a new religion.
