It’s a Mediaopoly, A mediaopoly
The whole media’s controlled by a few corporations
Thanks to deregulation by the FCC

You mean Disney, Fox, Westinghouse and good ol’ GE?

They own networks from CBS to CNBC

They can use them to say whatever they please
And put down the opinions of anyone who disagrees

Or stuff about PCBs

What are PCBs?

They come from electric power plants built by Westinghouse and GE

They can give you lots of cancer
That can hurt your body

But on network TV
You’ll rarely hear anything bad about the nuclear industry

Like when Westinghouse was sued for fraud?

Which time?
When GE made defective bolts it was an unreported crime”

Or when it was boycotted for operating nuclear bomb plants
Just to squeeze a dime…

That’s a footnote, by the way

A footnote protects you from folks who doubt what you say

Now maybe the voices in my head will go away

But the bigshots don’t care
They’re all sitting pretty thanks to corporate welfare.”

What’s that now

They get billions in subsidies from the government.It’s supposed to create jobs but that’s not how it’s spent

They use PACs and soft money to support Congressmen
Who will vote for weapons programs again and again…

And let them dump toxic waste where the young ones play

I hear GE made the bullets that shot JFK

You contribute to this chain
Every time you buy a product
Sponsored on this show
That’s what NBC doesn’t want you to know

So next time—

Please stand by
Please stand by
It means there’s technical difficulty
Supposedly

So if you see
A ‘Please Stand By’
You’ll know it’s all part of GE’s big lie

“Why’d they take Norm MacDonald away?
Because he made too many jokes about O.J.,
But Lorne Michaels overruled

Now don’t be fooled
He and Marion Barry went to the same high school
