Letra de Just another movie

Presidential elections are planned distractions
To divert attention from the action behind the scenes
like a game of chess when the house is a mess
Or a petty money squabble when your marriage is in trouble
Or a football game when there´s rioting in the streets

It´s just another movie, another song and dance
Another poor sucker who never had a chance
It´s just another captain going down with his ship
Just another jerk, taking pride in his work

I was a poor magician; I could never understand
You can´t make tears disappear through sleight of hand
From the bottom of my heart -- off the top of my head
Words were pulled like rabbits from a hat but nothing was said

Now my freedom´s bought and paid for -- it lights up my living room
I got nothing more to prove; I´ve got no reason to move
And when I´m tired of the program -- when it´s taken it´s toll
I can press a button, change the channel by remote control
