Give me headlines that grab and shocking detail Hide the facts in section E Where no one will see I can't tell which is news and which is retail. It all looks the same to me and it's said with urgency so it must be true and you must accept it from their point of view you better hop on board or miss the grand parade...
(CHORUS 1) and that's how consent is made, from the manifold masses so long as the man gets paid no one will question offering thrills in trade and that's how money's made
Who can tell between fast and rash assumption when the world comes down the wire. Those who propagate fear promote mass consumption all the publishers desire so the proof is not required 'cause if you don't think it's true then there must be something screwed up with you because everyone else has joined the big charade...
(CHORUS 2) and that's how consent is made from the millions of morons so long as the bill gets paid no one will question offering thrills in trade and that's how money's made
We don't need an excuse anymore we can bend half truths and fabricate a war if the details don't pan out we can smash all those who doubt so it must be true and you must bow down to the Red, White and Blue you better hop on board and join the great crusade...
(CHORUS 2) and that's how money's made (3X)
that's how money is made I don't want to pay the price it gets paid it's a downward spiral. (repeat)
