Am    *D            Am          *D
  They tell us that ignorance is bliss,
Am                        *D        Am          *E
  I guess by those that control the media, it is.
Am            *D                   Am              *D
  They own the media, they control   the stories we are told,
Am                  *D               E             Am
  if you ever try to go against them you will be ignored
           *D        Am       *D
'cause they control,   they control, ...

[Verse 2]
Am                *D                  Am               *D
  They control the narrative, they perpetuate the myth,
Am               *D                  Am          *E
  keep on telling you lies, tell you ignorance is bliss.
Am              *D                     Am     *D
  Believe it all and you'll never get,   never get wise
Am      *D                        E
  to the truth 'cause they control
               Am *D                Am *D
everything you do,   everything you do,
               Am  *D               E
everything you do,   everything you do.

[Outro 1]
        Am      *D      Am            *D

  they control the media,   they control the media.
