Welcome	to	the	Holy	City;	the	silver	screen
Built	with	the	lends	of	the	low	self
	esteem
A	teenager's	plea	for	meaning	and	means
We're	selling	the	news

See,	opinions	are	easier	to	swallow	than	facts
The	greys	instead	of	the	whites	and	the
	blacks
If	you	shoot	it	too	straight	it	won't
	come	back
We're	selling	the	news

See,	money	speaks	volumes	louder	than	words
And	virtues	with	wings,	maybe	not	quite	at
	first
But	salaries	are	paid	with	the	ads	not
	the	words
We're	selling	the	news

See,	all	men	are	equal;	all	is	for
	sale
A	powerful	dog	has	been	chasing	his	tail
The	lowest	common	denominator	prevails
We're	selling	the	news

I	wanna	believe	you,	I	wanna	believe
But	everything	here's	in-between
The	fact	is	fiction,	the	fact	is	fiction
I	wanna	believe	you,	I	wanna	believe
But	everything	here's	in-between
The	fact	is	fiction
Suspicion	is	the	new	religion

America	listens	as	the	story	is	told
With	an	eye	on	the	truth	as	the
	story	unfolds
But	the	ratings	determine	which	story	was	sold
We're	selling	the	news

Begging	the	question,	mongering	fears
Stroking	the	eyes	and	tickling	ears
The	truth	is	seldom	just	as	it	appears
We're	selling	the	news

I	wanna	believe	you,	I	wanna	believe
But	everything	here's	in-between
The	fact	is	fiction,	the	fact	is	fiction
I	wanna	believe	you,	I	wanna	believe
But	everything	here's	in-between
The	fact	is	fiction,	the	fact	is	fiction

I	can	see	your	talking	heads
On	the	television	set
On	the	internet	they	said
The	fact	is	fiction
Suspicion	is	the	new	religion

Substance,	oh,	substance,	where	have	you	been?
You've	been	replaced	by	the	masters	of	spin
Who	make	good	looking	books	and	write	history
	in
We're	selling	the	news

The	lines	start	to	blur;	I	get	so
	confused
They	get	shiny	new	models	mixed	up	with
	the	blues
They	get	binary	code	mixed	up	with	abuse
The	facts	are	simply	one	option	to	choose
When	nothing	is	sacred,	there's	nothing	to	lose
When	nothing	is	sacred,	all	is	consumed
We're	still	on	the	air,	it	must	be
	the	truth
We're	selling	the	news

I	wanna	believe	you,	I	wanna	believe
But	everything	here's	in-between
The	fact	is	fiction,	the	fact	is	fiction
I	wanna	believe	you,	I	wanna	believe
But	everything	here's	in-between
The	fact	is	fiction,	the	fact	is	fiction

I	wanna	believe	you,	I	wanna	believe
But	everything	I	see	is	green
The	fact	is	fiction
Suspicion	is	the	new	religion
