Green Screen

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Flies are [?] dead You know how time can lie The coach-slash-teacher said "This is how" and never why [Verse 2] You and I were cut From a different piece of stone And the corpses they dug up And are still feasting on their bones [Chorus] I tried to make some sense of things, but it seemed to be no use The more times you repeat a lie the more believe it's true It's all done with the green screen It's all done with the green screen [Verse 3] Now that I am grown I can't say much has changed Buffalo are owned And all in cages on the range [Verse 4] So we still pay what's due And it always comes around But never for the few That wear their self-inflicted crown [Chorus] I tried to make some sense of things, but it seems to be no use The more times you repeat a lie the more believe it's true It's all done with the green screen It's all done with the green screen It's all done with the green screen It's all done with the green screen [Verse 5] In the mirror there's a town Closer than it appears But don't turn back around You know the edge of the world is fear [Verse 6] See right through the smoke And don't reflect the mirror's shame Of culture's cloudy joke That's enabling the rain [Chorus] I tried to make some sense of things, but it seems to be no use The more times you repeat a lie the more believe it's true It's all done with the green screen It's all done with the green screen It's all done with the green screen It's all done with the green screen
