"The economy right now, is extremely supportive of the president and his policies" "FBI scientists have found chemical traces, consistent with a bomb or a missile, on a piece of wreckage..." "Police using clubs and tear gas against demonstrators..." "They called me a mother -(bleeped out)-ing so-and-so...and a white facist...like they said, 'you're getting some of your own medicine'..." Singing: Telling lies, to our children Telling lies, to our children Telling lies, to our babies Only truth, can take us...
