Politics Is Showbusiness

Politics is Showbusiness and Showbusiness is politics now
Politics is Showbusiness and Showbusiness is politics now
Politics is everything and everything is Showbusiness now

Life is just a theatre, it's all a living theatre now
Life is just a theatre, it's all a living theatre now
Theatre's into everything and everything is into theatre now

Newspapers have their our language, television's unbelievable
History is according to the colour of your skin
And where there lies no truth to see how can there be a sin

The world is run by signals, we're like a bunch of robots now
Come on, slip it into video, pick up your receiver now
Levers are adjusting you, your brain has been conditioned now

There's no such thing as sport when money plays a midfield role
There's no such thing as sport when money plays a midfield role
Money's into everything and everything is into money now

News media use their own syntax, rivalry destroying the truth
Scientists with their faces straight say we are hairless apes
While others are convinced that we are merely visionary shapes

Politics is Showbusiness and Showbusiness is politics now
Showbusiness is politics and politics is Showbusiness now
Politics is everything and everything is Showbusiness now
Politics is everything and everything is Showbusiness now
Politics is everything and everything is Showbusiness now
