A common threat sits in our house
They keep on warning me
But I'm not always listening
And yesterday I heard the news of fire at my doorstep
But this morning they're just disputing semantics

Blatantly apparent
Necessary illusions, broadcasting...
Releasing, persuading, compliance

The common threat sits in our house
But I feel so far removed
Keep the production rolling

Please provide us with guidance

Fake it, amuse me
Necessary abusing, broadcasting...
Releasing, persuading, compliance

The common threat sits in our house
But I feel so far removed
Keep the production rolling

    Awesome song, my favourite from the new album. Yeah I agree it is about the impact the media has on society, propaganda included. The media is constantly creating news that may or may not exist and can be a tool for evil ... the common threat sits in our house (TV, radio, etc.)
