The Pressman Lyrics

It’s crazy that he wrote this back in 89 when it’s so incredibly similar to the ways of press 30 years later in 2019. “Writing between the lines” & “deal with fantasy” should not be something the press does. It’s facts. Plain and simple like Walter Cronkite delivered but because this particular character is so lonely and envious of others he is transforming facts to skies of gray, imploring through his hypocritical low rent words to be the hero and victor. Such a great song and very much ahead of its time
