Nothing new under the sun today It’s the same old stage play Lies for lunch and dirt for dessert Having some common sense wouldn’t hurt Do you believe all the things they say Do you let their propaganda persuade Do you allow yourself to be mislead Do you panic or do you keep your head Written in black and white Black and white and everybody’s in a frenzy Written in black and white Black and white and the whole world’s gone crazy Every string held tight in their grip Everything goes according to their script Plunge the gullible crowd into confusion Now the delirious live inside their illusions Twist the words just as they please Spreading hysteria like a disease Demagogy is the name of the game Their behavior has no shame Written in black and white Black and white and everybody’s in a frenzy Written in black and white Black and white and the whole world’s gone crazy Serve the bait on a plate Add a little bit of salt Exaggerate and berate It’s a calculated assault The pawns are in their places They cannot see your true faces Checkmate you have won once again We shall live under your reign Nothing new under the sun today The apocalypse is on its way It’s certain it will happen tonight ´cause I saw it written in black and white
