geoff berner - public relations lyrics
if you’ve got something toxic that you want to sell
you better take it to the folks who can do the job well
make it sound s-xy, safe and fun
be it cigarettes, pesticides or guns
they’re the pimps pressing honest words into prost-tution
sustainable development, public consultation, compromise solution
public relations
who’s got the ear and the throat of the nation?
public relations
they put a positive spin on global annihilation
public relations
like domesticated dogs who forgot how to hunt
the journalist’s t–th are yellow and blunt
they don’t care what they’re fed, as long as they eat
so they line up to suck on the wire service teat
the editor’s got a deadline, we’ve got to placate him
so copy down the press release and print it up verbatim
for
public relations
who’s got the ear and the throat of the nation?
public relations
they put a positive spin on global annihilation
public relations
well you seem so clever that it’s hard to believe
you’re completely self-deluded – that’s hard to achieve
you say that you’re just a poor working slob
like old joe goebbels, just doing your job
the old lies are still the best lies, no need to drop ’em:
it’s safer than aspirin, the deathtoll’s overstated, we’re studying the problem
with
public relations
who’s got the ear and the throat of the nation?
public relations
they put a positive spin on global annihilation
public relations
we’re not selling a product
we’re selling a feeling
