《British Colonialism & the BBC》歌词

[00:00:00] British Colonialism & the BBC - Chumbawamba (恰巴王八)

[00:00:07] I'm the boss of the BBC

[00:00:10] I'm the monkey at the top of the media tree

[00:00:20] Your version of the riots in Cape Town

[00:00:22] Comes second-hand from me

[00:00:26] Chewing and spewing this revolution

[00:00:30] For popular TV

[00:00:33] All your opinions are carefully chosen

[00:00:36] By what we'll let you see

[00:00:39] Televised crap dressed up as fact

[00:00:42] Your soap reality

[00:00:46] We only want a chance to show the Editor's side

[00:00:49] Of struggle in the news

[00:00:53] Closer and closer to the State's eye view

[00:00:56] And further from the truth

[00:00:59] Push a microphone to the mouth of this youth

[00:01:02] Bewildered and confused

[00:01:05] Misreported distorted misquoted

[00:01:08] A ready-made victim to be used

[00:01:12] Quote you on things that you never said

[00:01:15] Put this pencil to your head

[00:01:19] Kill your revolution dead

[00:01:36] TV tells us what to be and what to say and what to do

[00:01:39] How to act and how to lie but never question why

[00:01:43] Fighting to stop this mass-deception

[00:01:49] Fighting to scrap the pass-laws

[00:01:56] Fighting to end misuse of land

[00:02:02] Fighting to close down diamond mines

[00:02:09] Fighting to feed their hungry mouths

[00:02:16] Fighting to change the world

[00:02:18] And here we sit on a fence

[00:02:25] Built by distance and enforced by lies

[00:02:31] Is a full stomach all it takes

[00:02:34] To keep us pacified
