[00:11.01]
[00:12.50]Party hacks and swift boating talk show whores
[00:15.93]
[00:16.54]Look at all the lies it takes the job of making kings
[00:21.42]
[00:23.85]You can own the truth you just gotta conceive it
[00:28.15]Put it on the television screen they'll believe it

[00:44.56]We wonder how our leaders could ever deceive us
[00:47.45]
[00:48.08]While the profiteers count their cash and praise Jesus
[00:51.49]
[00:52.41]The press sings another chorus of let freedom ring
[00:56.90]
[01:00.43]We send our boys away to come home in parts

[01:20.97]
[01:24.48]Just look at all the benefits your global economy brings
[01:28.66]
[01:32.49]Today we sing the gilded age's song
[01:35.62]
[01:36.39]The 20th century's dead and gone
[01:39.95]It's a beautiful thing

[02:28.20]
[02:29.02]I get up each morning try to tell the tale
[02:32.15]
[02:32.79]And so until my dying day whatever fate may bring
[02:37.77]
[02:41.08]A dark age looms there's evil at hand
[02:44.94]Somehow I still believe in the goodness of man

[02:49.24]It's a beautiful thing
[02:50.44]
[02:51.74]It's a beautiful thing
