Green Screen

The flies are on the dead

And you know how time can lie

The coach slash teacher said

"This is how and never why"

But you and I were cut

From a different piece of stone

Than the corpses they dug up

And are still feasting on their bones

Oh, I tried to make some sense of things

But it seemed to be no use

The more times you repeat a lie

The more believe it's true

It's all done with the green screen

It's all done with the green screen

Now that I am grown

I can't say much has changed

The buffalo are owned

And all in cages on the range

So we still pay what's due

And it always comes around

But never for the few

That wear their self-inflicted crown

Oh, I tried to make some sense of things

But it seems to be no use

The more times you repeat a lie

The more believe it's true

It's all done with the green screen

It's all done with the green screen

It's all done with the green screen

It's all done with the green screen

In the mirror, there's a town

Closer than it appears

But don't turn back around

You know the edge of the world is fear

See right through the smoke

And don't reflect the mirror's shame

Of culture's cloudy joke

That's enabling the rain

Oh, I tried to make some sense of things

But it seems to be no use

The more times you repeat a lie

The more believe it's true

It's all done with the green screen

It's all done with the green screen

It's all done with the green screen

It's all done with the green screen
