The finished track is playing back
The music has been made
Engineer adjusts controls
Which mix and match, phase and fade
Journalist is free to ask
Any question in his head
But the answer has been edited
Before a word is said
Propaganda's everywhere
Reality in disguise
Propaganda's everywhere
Mingling truth and lies
Make-up girl makes up the face
That looks out from the screen
Carefully selected stills of the star
Make the cover of a magazine
The music has been made
Engineer adjusts controls
Which mix and match, phase and fade

Any question in his head
But the answer has been edited
