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 behaviour 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
