    Story Behind the Song
    Bizarrely enough, the whole song came originally from nicking the first three chords on He Thought of Cars by Blur. A couple of riffs and a large amount of ingenuity later, this is what we came up with.

    Lyrics
    Censor sex and violence and censor reality
    Forced innocence Whitehouse bitch new morality
    Broadcast my life, my mind and you know
    18 certificate, thought police outcry

    Chorus:
    Give you happy endings to restore your faith
    Sugared view of love to reassure your mind
    Don't face up just watch rose-tinted
    Escapism numbing repressed conscience gnaws

    News shows genocide, rape, persecution
    Boundless human suffering in bitesize chunks
    But profanity is corrupting our youth now
    Wrap in a blanket of cosseted blindness

    Chorus

    But there's only so long you can blinker us
    And we won't fucking watch what you deem fit
    All depression stems from disillusionment
    The more honey you feed us the more bile we'll return

    When the truth is banned and lies supported
    When the visionaries are gagged and sheep applauded
    When anything real is a disgusting perversion
    It's for your own good, we're just protecting you

    Chorus
