What you watch, what you read
What you percieve is to be truth
It is all so subjective
So what you believe is up to you
But what are we to believe in
Between the lies and the truth? Youth
Media has vested interest
So what you believe is up to you.
But how are we to make sense of these turbulent times
When all they do is censor our minds
Only telling what they want us to know
Only half of the story told
So what is wrong? What is right?
No truth can there be seen
Well it's all there in your new religion
Just turn on your TV screen
Watch the sex and drugs and all that violence
Look what they are feeding you
Propaganda yes indeed its,
its all there to confuse
But how are we to make sense of these turbulent times
When all they do is brainwash our minds
Only telling what they want us to know
Only half of the story told
And if the truth can't be found
I'll find my own underground
And if the truth is never to be seen
I'll find my own in between
What you watch, what you read
What you percieve is to be truth
It is all so subjective
So what you believe is up to you
But what are we to believe in
Between the lies and the truth? Youth
Media has vested interest
So what you believe is up to you.
You know its up to you
Don't believe the lies, read between the lines,
Don't believe the lies, critically analyse

This is where the full effect of the extra strings on John's 11-string comes in.
It's really hard to mimic on a 6, but you can try. This is how you can play it
to make it sound relatively the same, but it requires some crazy fingering, so
you can just play it like the first section here and improvise with bends and slides.

What you watch, what you read
What you percieve is to be truth
It is all so subjective
So what you believe is up to you
But what are we to believe in
Between the lies and the truth? Youth
Media has vested interest
So what you believe is up to you.
But how are we to make sense of these turbulent times
When all they do is censor our minds
Only telling what they want us to know
Only half of the story told
So what is wrong? What is right?
No truth can there be seen
Well it's all there in your new religion
Just turn on your TV screen
Watch the sex and drugs and all that violence
Look what they are feeding you
Propaganda yes indeed its,
its all there to confuse
But how are we to make sense of these turbulent times
When all they do is brainwash our minds
Only telling what they want us to know
Only half of the story told
And if the truth can't be found
I'll find my own underground
And if the truth is never to be seen
I'll find my own in between
What you watch, what you read
What you percieve is to be truth
It is all so subjective
So what you believe is up to you
But what are we to believe in
Between the lies and the truth? Youth
Media has vested interest
So what you believe is up to you.
You know its up to you
Don't believe the lies, read between the lines,
Don't believe the lies, critically analyse
