They will buy the video
And circulate the lies
They will buy the pictures
Knowing they're not right
Manipulate the image
To sell the magazines
They will do the edit
And make it all obscene
Smearing your opponents
Tell some dirty lies
Plant some crucial evidence
Headline it tonight
Systematic madness - systematic madness
Systematic madness - madness rules the world
Systematic madness - systematic madness
Systematic madness - madness fools the world
They will brief the president
On weapons and intrigue
And call for ma** deployment
A country on its knees
They strangle all the media
Of what they have to know
It's just a few who pull the strings
They direct the show
