Grave Forsaken - No News Aint Good News Lyrics

News of significant world events reaches me
Through the filter of media acceptability
Dictated by political accountability
Constrained by governmental economic security

I hear what I’m told to hear
I will buy what’s suggested to me
My free will is absolute
As long as my choices conform

Corporations bending
Information sending
Corruption never mending
There is no happy ending

I will speak their mind through the appropriate channels
They will thank me for my conformity
With security against threats that they invented
To keep me in line and protect me from myself

The Middle East is lurching from crisis to crisis
Polar ice caps are melting
Global financial system collapsing
We are in a living hell

You think you know what Hell is?
You’ve got no idea

You think you’ll sleep when you’re dead
Writhing in agony on a stony bed
Teeming maggots itching under your skin
Look at the ugly mess you’ve found yourself in

No news comes from beyond the grave
No reports of evil threats
A noticeable absence of terrorist activity
Not so much a whisper of dictatorship

Oh God, I didn’t know
That this was where I’d go
Back when I was alive
I thought You were a lie

Nobody ever told me, never saw it on the news
I thought I was so well-informed but never heeded You
And now you’re telling me I’m gonna suffer here forever
Cause I was just too ignorant to make it into Heaven

No news...ain’t good news
