What You Don't Know

Manufacture of consent
 Turn your fiction into fact
 The story's more important than the truth
 Selective information sold
 Won't tell us what we should know
 The printed word is set with biased hands
 There it is in black and white
 What you can't see, and don't hear
 What you don't know hurts you
 What is not said, but instead
 What you don't know hurts you
 And war look like a TV game
 Entertaining frame by frame
 But do we ever really know the score
 Cover up and change the view
 Suggest the side that we should choose
 On the air, your own official truth
 There it is on satellite
 What you can't see, and don't hear
 What you don't know hurts you
 What is not said, but instead
 What you don't know hurts you
 What you're not told, but are sold
 What you don't know hurts you
 What is not shown, won't be known
 What you don't know hurts you
 (Ahh)
 What you see
 (Ahh)
 What you hear
 (Ahh)
 What you read
 ♪
 The safety of complacency
 Imagination, scarcity
 The camera is asleep on my TV
 Opinions formed from what I'm fed
 From subtitles that I've read
 I read the words, but not between the lines
 Hear it on the air
 What you can't see, and don't hear
 What you don't know hurts you
 What is not said, but instead
 What you don't know hurts you
 What you're not told, but are sold
 What you don't know hurts you
 What is not shown, won't be known
 What you don't know hurts you
