It Says Here

Billy Bragg

Transposer:

Intro: (2x) It says here that the unions will never learn And it says here that the economy is on the upturn And it says here we should be proud that we are free And our free press reflects our democracy           Those braying voices on the right of the house Echo down the street of shame        Where politics mix with bingo and tits In a money and numbers game          Where they offer you a feature on stockings and suspenders Next to a call for stiffer penalties for sex offenders      It says here that this year’s prince is born And it says here "d’you ever wish that you were better informed?" And it says here that we can only stop the rot With a large dose of law and order and a touch of the short sharp shock Is this does not reflect your view you must understand That those who own these papers also own this land And they’d rather you believe in Coronation Street capers In the war for circulation it sells newspapers Would it be an infringement of the freedom of the press to print Pictures of women in states of undress?           When you wake up to the fact that your paper is Tory Just remember there are two sides to every story

La chanson aborde les manipulations médiatiques et les discours politiques biaisés qui dominent notre société. Elle souligne la manière dont certains journaux font passer des idées trompeuses sur les mouvements sociaux, l'économie et la démocratie, tout en suggérant que les vérités dérangeantes sont souvent esquivées au profit de sensations superficielles. Dans un monde où l'information est souvent orientée, l’artiste rappelle qu’il est essentiel de garder un esprit critique et de se questionner sur les récits qui nous sont présentés, car ils reflètent souvent les intérêts de ceux qui détiennent le pouvoir.
