The Lyrics
Based on Peter Arnett's experience with yellow corporatism
In the war to free Iraq, was a man on T.V.
And he told us only truth.
And he worked for NBC
So we heard him tell his tale:'bout the war
And what he'd seen
But his words they did not please the Yellow News Machine.
chorous:
We hear lies from the Yellow News Machine, Yellow News Machine, Yellow News Machine.
Don't ask why it's the Yellow News Machine, Yellow News Machine, Yellow News Machine.
And our friends are not on board
Many more of them hate this war
And the tape begins to play (Instrumental)
As we live our life of ease
with the comfort of our T.V.'s
Lies are true when bucks are green, in the Yellow News Machine
Repeat chorous and fade
And he told us only truth.
And he worked for NBC
So we heard him tell his tale:'bout the war
And what he'd seen
But his words they did not please the Yellow News Machine.
chorous:
We hear lies from the Yellow News Machine, Yellow News Machine, Yellow News Machine.
Don't ask why it's the Yellow News Machine, Yellow News Machine, Yellow News Machine.
And our friends are not on board
Many more of them hate this war
And the tape begins to play (Instrumental)
As we live our life of ease
with the comfort of our T.V.'s
Lies are true when bucks are green, in the Yellow News Machine
Repeat chorous and fade
