[Verse 1]
[Em]I'm [G]the [Em]boss[D] of[G] th[D]e B[G]BC[D][G]
I'm the monkey at the top of the
[Em]medi[G]a tree[D][G][D][G][D][G]
Your version of the riots [D]in [Em]Cape [G]Town
Comes [Bm]second- [G]hand fro[D]m me[E][G]
Chewing and spewing this [Em]re vo[G]lution
For [Em]popular [G]TV[Em][D][G]
All your opinion[D]s are c[Em]arefully c[G]hosen
[D]By what we'[G]ll let you see[Bm][D][G]
Televised crap dressed [Bm]up as[G] fact
Your [Em]soap [G]real[Em] ity[D][Em][D]
[A]We [D]only w[G]ant a chance
[D]to show the Editor[G]'s side
[D]Of [G]struggle in [D]the [Em]news[D][G]
Closer and closer to the State's eye view
And [D]further [G]from the [D]truth[G][D]
Push a [G]microphone [D]to the
mouth of [G]this youth
Bewildered and con[D]fused
[Em]Misr[D]epor[Em]ted,[G]
[D]distorted, mis[G]quoted
A ready- [D]made vic[G]tim to be [Em]used[D][G]
Quote you [Em]on t[G]hings th[D]at you n[Em]ever s[G]aid

[Verse 2]
[Em]Put [G]this pen[D]cil [Em]to yo[G]ur he[D]ad
[Em]Kill your [G]re [D]volu[Em]tion [G]dea[D]d
[E][Em][G][D][Em][D][G][D]
[G]
[Bm]TV t[G]ells us what to be and what
to say and [F#]what to [G]do
How to act and how to lie but
never question [D]why
[Em]Fight[G]ing to stop [D]this mass-
[G]decep[D]tion[G][D][G][D]
[Em]Fighting [G]to scrap [D]the pass-
[G]law[D]s[G][Bm][G]
Fighting to end [D]misuse [G]of
[D]land[G][D][G][D]
Fighting to [G]close [D]down [Bm]diamond
[D]min[G]es[Bm][G]
Fighting to feed [D]their [G]hungry mouths
[D]Fig[G]hti[Em]ng[D][Em][D][Em]
to [G]change the [Em]world[G]
[D]And [G]here,[Em][D][Em][D]
[Em]we sit on a fence
Built by [G]distance[Em]
[G]and enforced by [Em]lies[G]
Is [D]a f[Em]ull s[G]tomach a[D]ll [G]it takes
To keep us [Em]pacified[G]
