Handlers

On a chilly winter's morning The Face calls office-holders His fully zippered cabinet Of determined mindset-moulders! To a public devoid of context All are trained to prevaricate! So, truth cannot overtake us Handlers conceal our corporate fate! So, he hands to them his spirit Drinking down swill, he imbibes lies! And as he receives deception He becomes what he does not realise! As the room gets deathly quiet And their aces do claim foresight Handlers say, If you play the game You gotta learn the hand of sleight! You've gotta know what you told 'em! Know where and when to scold 'em! Know how they believe The Lie! Know why a lie's course is done! Never tell whole truth, emoting When you're speaking to the camera! There's plenty of time for gloating When the deception's fully won! And with this top-secret weapon Heard from all the cynic handlers From unelected Sirs Humphrey Who have crawled up into his head He learns one can find the experts And also, stats and big numbers To say what e'er it is you like To be sure to stay far ahead! When speaking into the camera About some problematic reeves He proceeds so to malign them As thugs, fools, and selfish thieves! His enablers in media Make lies so easy to believe! For some folks do not care to know How official narratives deceive! For he learned You've gotta know what you told 'em! Know where and when to scold 'em! Know how they believe The Lie! Know why a lie's course is done! Never share truth with anyone Whom you do so desire to shun Whether in the mind or body 'Cause the aim is spirit-war won! For he learned You've gotta know what you told 'em! Know where and when to scold 'em! Know how they believe The Lie! Know why a lie's course is done! Never share truth with anyone Whom you do so desire to shun Whether in the mind or body 'Cause the aim is spirit-war won! As a frosty, sober warning Let's remember that in the state Fully deluded cabinets Are what we must not under-rate! Public trust when it is squandered Is so very hard to re-instate And, only those who love our law Will show intent to hold debate! Public trust when it is squandered Is so very hard to re-instate And, only those who love our law Will show intent to hold debate! And, only those who love us all Seek truth, and take fact in good faith! And, only those who love us all Seek truth, and take fact in good faith!
