lyrics

They pit the labourer against the foreigner
They call a traveller a lazy scavenger
They use the newspaper to stir up hate in you
We need a takeover, let's shoot the messenger

Propaganda, fabricated facts
Leading weapons of the ruling class
Just as deadly as a poison gas
So shoot the messenger

They could enlighten us, instead they frighten us
When they could pacify they choose to vilify
They use the newspaper to stir up hate in you
We need a takeover, let's shoot the messenger
Shoot the messenger, boycott the papers
