the official story II

Steve Bannon wants the Press to toe his line
like Tass disseminating Stalin's word
he'll issue them opinions to opine
to argue with his truths would be absurd
but that's not how democracy is done
the people need to weigh all diff'rent views
before we can converge on a right one
we need each side laid out, so we can choose
republics die, deprived of a free press
or if dissenting views are deemed obscene
we need a bit of tumult and some mess
free citizens don't bow to the Machine
conformity exalts the fascist state
grim parody of what had made us great
