I can't find a music sub-forum so I'm putting this in here. One of my personal annoyances is the idea that all media is brainwashing. I'm hoping to show that many people have been spreading the truth although they never make it into the mainstream.
Here's a tune from 1995. I appreciate some of you won't like this type of music so the lyrics are underneath.

VNV Nation - Serial Killer
In a face, a view, through eyes this world collides
I am voiceless in my angst and nothing can take us back to innocence
Short, sharp, bloodlust, reality
In despair I reach for night
In water purity reigns to be resolute
As a land we clean our minds, reap our belongings
Sow our angers and our strengths
All too obsessed by weakness
we have brought ourselves to meaninglessness
So easy to control, bring to harm
A gathering of fools unjustified, on a mountain
I collect my thoughts
And I rise above all that despises me
Comprehend the ways of manAnd under a flag we salute or burn
There is blood on both shores
With hardened mind I traveled
With hardened heart I conquered
A freedom so ironic, so despicable, so hypocritical
There is anger resolute
Rears its familiar head on the TV screen
In a dozen bags a life was placed
In a breath he smiled and waved
Five minutes at a time the power held true
Without consternation our laws are lost
Lost to butchers, lost to child killers, lost to narcotic ritual
Another tag, another headline
Another smiling photograph shall stay ten winters long forever
And where are the angels to guard?
Where is the God of men and children?
He is stalking the minds of dark poor souls
And I know it's right 'cause I know it's time for freedom:
To kill another, and to kill another, and to kill another child of the flag till there are none left
And another, and to kill another, and to kill another
Here's another one that came out after 9/11. It's the artist's response to how his fellow Americans were having their patriotism used as a weapon against their freedoms. As the final line says, Don't waive your rights with your flags.

Sage Francis - Makeshift Patriot
Frank, what's up man?
I'm just watching some bullshit
On the news. It's fucking bullshit
Reporters trying to a fucking win an Emmy.

Makeshift Patriot
The Flag Shop Is Out Of Stock
I Hang Myself at Half Mast
It?s the Makeshift
The Patriot
The Flag Shop is Out of Stock
I hang myself... via live telecast
Coming live from my own funeral, beautiful weather offered a nice shine
Which is suitable for a full view of a forever altered skyline
When times like these arrive I freestyle biased opinions every other sentence
Journalistic ethics slip when I pass them off as objective
"Don't give me that ethical shit."
I've got exclusive, explicit images to present to impressionable American kids
And it's time to show this world how big our edifice is!
That's exactly what they attacked when a typically dark skinned Disney villain
Used civilians against civilians and charged the Trojan horses into our buildings
Using commercial aviation as instruments of destruction
Pregnant women couldn't protect their children
Wheelchairs were stairway obstructions
Now have to back petal...from the shower of glass and metal
Wondering how after it settles we'll find who provided power to radical rebels
The Melting Pot seems to be calling the kettle black when it boils over
But only on our own soil so the little boy holds a toy soldier..
And waits for the suit and tie to come home. We won't wait 'til he's older
before we destroy hopes for a colder war to end
"Now get a close up of his head"
Makeshift Patriot
The Flag Shop Is Out of Stock
I Hang Myself at Half Mast
?How does my hair look?
Makeshift Patriot
The Flag Shop Is Out of Stock
I Hang Myself at Half Mast
?Run that tape back?
Makeshift Patriot
The Flag Shop Is Out Of Stock
I Hang Myself at Half Mast
?Looks just like a movie?
It?s the make shift
The patriot
The Flag Shop is Out of Stock
I hang myself
?while the stock markets crash?
The city is covered in inches of muck
I see some other pictures of victims are up
Grieving mothers are thinking their children are stuck
Leaping lovers are making decisions to jump
While holding hands...to escape the brutal heat
Sometimes in groups of the three
The fall out was far beyond the toxic cloud where people look like debris
But all they saw after all was said...beyond the talking heads
Was the bloody dust with legs looking like the walking dead calling for meds
but Hospitals are overwhelmed. Volunteers need to go the hell home
Moments of silence for fire fighters were interrupted by cell phones
Who's gonna to make that call to increase an unknown death toll?
It's the one we rally behind
He's got a megaphone...and he's promising to make heads roll
we cheer him on, but asbestos is affecting our breath control
The lesser we know...the more they fabricate...the easier it is to sell souls
(Man talking)
There is a new price on freedom, so buy into it while supplies last.
Changes need to be made;
No more curbside baggage,
Seven pm curfew,
Racial profiling will continue with less bitching.
We've unified over who to kill, so until I find more relevant scripture to quote,
Remember, our god is bigger, stronger, smarter, and much wealthier.
So wave those flags with pride, especially the white part.
We sell an addictive 24 hour candle light vigils in TV's
Freedom will be defended...at the cost of civil liberties
The viewers are glued to television screens
Stuck... cause lots of things seem too sick
I use opportunities to pluck heart strings for theme music
I'll show you which culture to pump your fist at, which foot is right to kiss
we don't really know who the culprit is yet...but he looks like this
we know who the heroes are. Not the xenophobes who act hard
"We taught that dog to squat, how dare he do that shit in our own back yard!"
They happened to scar our financial state and char our landscape
Can you count how many times so far I ran back this same damn tape?
While a camera man creates news and shoves it down our throats on the West Bank
With a ten second clip put on constant loop to provoke US angst
So get your tanks and load your guns and hold your sons in a family huddle
Cos even if we win this tug of war and even the score...humanity struggles
There's a desperate need of blood for what's been uncovered under the rubble
Some of them dug for answers in the mess...but the rest were looking for trouble
Makeshift patriot
The flag shop is out of stock
I hang myself at half mast.
(3x)
It's the makeshift
The patriot
The flag shop is out of stock
I hang myself.
Don't waive your rights with your flags.
