Cheap Sex - Desperation Lyrics

the newspapers they never give me the truth
no one ever listens to today's youth
all our heroes are lying in their graves
and we are all rats trapped in a maze.
the youth is just a pawn and the leaders are king
you can try to speak out, but nobody wins

[chorus:]
these are the sounds of desperation
hear the screams of our generation
so hear our voice, and hear our cry
give us the truth - and not your lies!

the media has a bias based on their views
making it so hard to get any real news
they can control what we hear and we see -
a corporate information monopoly
don't believe what you hear unless you see proof
forget all the fantasy and give me some truth.
