Propaganda, the great immutable of human society. We decry Goebbels, but live with exactly the same thing, only the techniques change. The Warhorse of Troy was a masterpiece of propaganda and the myth of freedom in the West is no less brilliant. It's a matter of which propaganda you find tasteful, but rest assured, you'll get the taste for one one form or another. Gullibility is perhaps the most stunning weakness and strangely endearing quality of the human species - we want to believe and we do; we want to believe in something good and so often we don't.
lyrics
WARHORSE
I’ll tell you a story, for that is my role
May be a tall one, may not even fit into the whole
I am a warrior, an ancient of fame
Fought with the Trojans, Goths and Vandals trembled at my name
A war-weary general, mercenary pure
In every battle, I participate and I endure
I’m propaganda, constant of war
Say it again now, I have said it many times before
And I can justify any action, any lie
I can dress the Devil up so fine
Name the place and time, and who it is must die
I can make arrangements down the line
Among my kind
I travel on wires, and work from behind
I make the myths now, I have redefined the real front line
Adaptive to changes, cowboy of tech
Guided by lasers, weakness I am certain to detect
I’m propaganda, timeless and great
You think you control me, I have appetites you cannot sate
I’m propaganda, deceitful and bold
Give me a run-down, then you do exactly as you’re told
And I can justify any action, any lie
I can dress the Devil up so fine
Name the place and time, and who it is must die
I can make arrangements down the line
Among my kind
