about

written by me on December 4, 1997. I used to work for the Office of News and Public Affairs at the UW-Madison. It was disturbing to watch how my research was manipulated and distorted by the conservative press. There is fake news out there, and it is mostly the conservative and religious right distorting the truth, or just outright lying.

lyrics

I read the news today
And felt my innocence fall away
Another child left for dead
Another family left unfed

We argue over people's rights
What's mine, not yours- never give a fair fight
To get ahead by stepping on
Anyone who dares to disagree

The government will make a stand
Disclose the truth as it sees it
It herds a nation of lazy sheep
And burns the wolves in effigy

It's arrogance to think I'm right
What I believe is my belief
I can't force you to follow me
I can't force you to do anything

I saw the news today
And felt my innocence fade away
Another memory left for dead
Another memory left unfed
