lyrics

This just in
50 died
Now here’s Bill Trivialise

This just in Lots to see On the air
A skeleton key

This just in Homophobe Got him good Wearin’ the robe

This just in Wait you turn Now we watch Ready to burn

But will we ever learn...

They’re givin’ it off the record They’re givin’ it off the wall

They’re givin’ it their perspective They’re drivin’, they’re hivin’

They’re givin’ it on the record They’re writin’ it on the wall They’re messin’ with the subjective They’re gamblin’, they’re ramblin'

Rules and regulations
For the nation
Now that’s the truth
But which one’s lookin’ straighter Or lookin’ faker

Where’s the proof?

Cue back to the anchor Cause he’s the banker Let him rip
He’s on our think tanker He’s got the rancour

To sink the ship

Report
Rapport (Gotta make a livin’) Report
Rapport
Report
Rapport (Gotta keep reportin’) Mmm, more!

Repeat
Reveal (Gotta make a livin’) Repeat
Reveal
Repeat
Reveal (Gotta keep reportin’) Mmm, deal!

Aviator
They’re run by the aviator

Propaganda, freighter They’re run by the aviator

If I have to face up
Draggin’ the mob into my face and Lady Godiva might be chasin’
An’ I be messin’ up my world

People with their problems
Why should I hustle just to solve ‘em I got a job to do and I am

Ready to go on camera one... But will we ever learn?

They’re givin’ it off the record They’re givin’ it off the wall They’re givin’ it their perspective They’re drivin’, they’re hivin’

They’re givin’ it on the record They’re writin’ it on the wall They’re messin’ with the subjective They’re gamblin’, they’re ramblin’

They’re givin’ it off the record They’re givin’ it off the wall They’re givin’ it their perspective They’re drivin’, they’re hivin’

They’re takin’ it out of context They’re puttin’ it where they want They’re playin’ on human interest They’re sneakin’, they’re peekin’

Platform institution
Is their solution
What a joke
Federal law to witness Bigger the business You will be broke

Liase with the media Your Wikipedia
For the bait
Stir up moral panic Blame the Hispanic He’s runnin’ late

Watch out for the headline It’s like a clothesline
They hang ‘em dry They’re newspaper nazis It’s kamikaze

The truth will die

Digital dilemma
The world’s a published, pusher man But the popular opinion
Is now a minion
Of camera man

Aviator

They’re run by the aviator

Propaganda, freighter They’re run by the aviator

If I have to face up
Draggin’ the mob into my face and Lady Godiva might be chasin’
An’ I be messin’ up my world

Cable televsion
Everyone’s payin’ for that vision Let ‘em get off on their decision And I’ll be live on camera one...

(push it, push it, push it, pusher man)

Newsroom, boardroom, horde gloom, lies bloom Storyboard, waterboard, paddleboard, all aboard!

Why you trippin’ on me Why you pickin’ on me Follow the road you know

Why you steppin’ on me Why you pepperin’ me Hollow the road you know

Because I’m not a rich man I’ll tell you all the truth Maybe you would listen
Or maybe you need proof

Some of you will banter
And some of you will brave Some of you like slander Because you play the knave

They ad-lib on the conduct
And scrimp on people’s rights They’re sealing up the air ducts While you’re sayin’ your goodnights

Upper crust society
Don’t want no lower case It’s happiness sobriety They want to run the race

You think you’ve heard the real stuff But the mug shot’s mise-en-scene It’s all just mere distraction
Cause the real stuff’s not the trend

Blame that product placement For appealing to your glut
It’s all too well and easy
To be slave to monkey nuts

To plagiarise the heros
And pretend you’re Robin Hood Is robbing man of conscience For a constant fisher’s hook

The green screen is a smokescreen
So you’d better get out now
It’s all a precious routine
Cause they just want your soul to plough (but will we ever learn?)

Aviator
They’re run by the aviator

Propaganda, freighter They’re run by the aviator

If I have to face up
Draggin’ the mob into my face and Lady Godiva might be chasin’
An’ I be messin’ up my world

Cable televsion
Everyone’s payin’ for that vision Let ‘em get off on their decision And I’ll be live on camera one
