Analysis of Spreading the good news
Valiantstar 1961 (Sydney)
Can I escape,
It's everywhere
More on certain days.
No matter what I am listening to it all sounds the same.
Telling us what could go wrong or the latest terminal disease...
Certainly can make a man feel sick!
A carefully crafted subliminal trick.
Bombarding us with good news trash..
Don't forget to bring your cash.
The plan is simple...
The coast is clear!
Poison their bodies!
Poison their minds!
Block their ears!
Send them blind.
Social sickness is killing our soul.
Lead to the slaughter by lies and Deception.
But I am here to speak of connection!
Connection with the creator of all...
Truth teller: beware of the fall.
Innocent blood to set us free:
Did it for you.
Did it for me.
Did it for Him.
So should we.
He knows the secrets
Of the heart.
He can
See.
