Selling the News - Switchfoot

Welcome to the Holy City

The Silver Screen

Built with the lends of the low self esteem

A teenagers 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 payed

With the eyes not the verbs

We're selling the news

See all men are equal; all is for sale

A powerful dog has been chasing his tale

The lowest common demonstrator prevails

We're selling the news

I wanna believe you I wanna believe

But everything is in-between

The fact is fiction; The fact is fiction

I wanna believe you I wanna believe

But everything is in-between

The fact is fiction

Suspicion is the new religion

America listens as the story is told

With the eye on the truth as the story unfolds

But the ratings determine which story was sold

We're selling the news

Begging the question longer in fears

Stroking the eyes and tickling ears

The story is seldom just as it appears

We're selling the news

I wanna believe you I wanna believe

But everything is in-between

The fact is fiction; The fact is fiction

I wanna believe you I wanna believe

But everything is in-between

The fact is fiction; The fact is fiction

I can see your talking heads

On the television set

On the internet they say

The fact is fiction

Suspicion is the new religion

Substance Oh Substance

Where have you been

You've been replaced by the masters of spins

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 is in-between

The fact is fiction

The fact is fiction

I wanna believe you

I wanna believe

But everything is 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
