Intro: (news snippets) 
"let me now turn, to our program for the future..." 
"the economy right now, is extremely supportive of the president and his policies" 
"FBI scientists have found chemical traces, consistent with a bomb or a missile, on a piece of wreckage..." 
"police using clubs and tear gas against demonstrators..." 
"they called me a mother-(bleeped out)-ing so-and-so... and a white fascist... like they said, 'you're getting some of your own medicine'..."Singing: 
Telling lies, to our children 
Telling lies, to our children 
Telling lies, to our babies 
Only truth, can take us... 
Verse 1: 
You can't fool all the people all of the time 
But if you fool the right ones, then the rest will fall behind 
Tell me who's got control of your mind? your world view? 
Is it the news or the movie you're taking your girl to? (uh) 
Know what I'm sayin' cause Uncle Sam got a plan 
If you examine what they tellin' us then you will understand 
What they plantin' in the seeds of the next generation 
Feeding our children miseducation 
No one knows if there's UFO's or any life on Mars 
Or what they do when they up in the stars 
Because I don't believe a word of what the President said 
He filling our head with lies, got us hypnotised 
When he be speaking in code words about crime and poverty 
Drugs, welfare, prisons, guns and robbery 
It really means us, there's no excuse for the slander 
But what's good for the goose, is still good for the gander 
See... 
Chorus: 
I don't believe 
Bob Marley died from cancer 
31 years ago I woulda been a Panther 
They killed Huey 'cause they 
knew he had the answer 
The views that you see in the news is propagandaSinging: 
Telling lies, to our children 
Telling lies, to our children 
Telling lies, to our babies 
Only truth, 
can take us...Verse 2: 
I don't want no computer chip in my arm 
I don't wanna die by a nuclear bomb 
I say we all rush the pentagon, pull out guns 
And grab the intercom, my first words will be 
I believe man made god, outta ignorance and fear 
If God made man, then why the hell would he put us here? 
I thought he's supposed to be the all loving 
The same God who let Hitler put the Jews in the oven 
We don't fall for the regular shit, they try to feed us 
All this half-ass leadership, flippin' position 
They turn politician and shut the hell up and follow tradition 
For your TV screen is telling lies to your vision 
Every channel got some brainwashed cop shit to watch 
Running up in niggas cribs claiming that they heard shots 
It's a plot, but busta 
Can you tell me who's greedier? 
Big corporations, the pigs or the media? 
Sign of the times, terrorism on the rise 
Commercial airplanes, falling out the sky like flies 
Make me wonder what secrets went down with bob brown (? ) 
Who burnt churches to the ground with no evidence found? 
It's not coincidence, it's been too many studied incidents 
It coulda been the Klan who put that bomb at the Olympics 
But it probably was the FBI, deep at the call 
Cuz if they make us all panic, then they can start martial lawChorusI don't believe Bob Marley died from cancer 
31 years ago I woulda been a Panther 
They killed Huey cause they knew he had the answer 
The views that you see in the news is muthaf**kin propagandaSinging: 
Police is telling lies fooling millions 
What are they teaching our kids in these school buildings? 
Televised, enterprised in all the killing 
Controlling our lives, this ain't living 
No this ain't livingChant: 
FBI, CIA 
ATF, KKK 
IRS, TNT 
CBS, NBCFBI, CIA 
ATF, KKK 
IRS, TNT 
CBS, NBCSinging: 
Telling lies, to our children 
Telling lies, to our children 
Telling lies, to our babies 
Only truth, can take us...Huey Newton: 
"uh, we view each other uh, with uh, a great love and a great understanding 
And that we 
Try to expand this to the general, uh, black population and also people, 
Oppressed people all over the world, and, I think that uh, we differ from 
Uhmm... uh, some other groups simply because we understand the system better 
Than uh, most uh, groups understand the system, and uh, with this 
Realisation, uh, we attempt to form a strong political base based in the 
Community with the only strength that we have and that's the strength of, uh, 
A potentially destructive force if we don't get freedom."
