MAKE ME A WINNER

When the messengers seek to create the news
The people forget they've got a right to refuse
If they tell you long enough that their product is right
You'll make them their stars overnight
Greasy palms oil cogs of machines
The celluloid flickers as they sell you their dreams
When you awake you'll have none of your own
The seeds have been sown

Oh god, make me a winner, please make it so
I could never quite do it on my own
I need a helping hand, a guiding light
So please make me a winner, a winner tonight

Let me tell you what You're gonna get
From the jaws of the media from your TV set
We're talking 'bout a cultural coup d'etat
When all of a sudden life imitates art
And let me tell you what you're gonna see
When they monopolise the market and democracy
There's a table on the wasteland where the have-not's dine
Scrambling in the mud with the swine

Oh god, make me a winner, please make it so
I could never quite do it on my own
I need a helping hand, a guiding light
So please make me a winner, a winner tonight

The false idols of a sterile generation
Fills the void of their rest and recreation
Culturcide is a fair exchange
Don't expect any change
The illusion of abundance from freedom of choice
A thousand words from one common voice
The dictators words are softly spoken
The barcode is broken

Oh god, make me a winner, please make it so
I could never quite do it on my own
I need a helping hand, a guiding light
So please make me a winner, a winner tonight
Oh god, make me a winner, please make it so
I could never quite do it on my own
I need a helping hand, a guiding light
So please make me a winner, a winner tonight
