Intro: ~ ~ Surrogates and shadowy henchmen galore Party hacks and swift-boating talk-show whores Look at all the lies it takes, the job of making kings ~ ~ You can own the truth, you just gotta conceive it Put it on the television screens, they'll believe it It's a beautiful thing It's a beautiful thing ~ ~ We wonder how our leaders could ever deceive us While the profiteers count their cash and praise Jesus The press sings another Chorus, “Let Freedom Ring” ~ ~ We send our boys away to come home in parts Believe the lies with all our hearts It's a beautiful thing It's a beautiful thing Bridge: Dissension is a song only fools and traitors sing Just look at all the benefits that global economy brings ~ ~ Today we sing the gilded age's song The 20th century's dead and gone It's a beautiful thing It's a beautiful thing Instrumental:
