lyrics

Here’s your daily assurance things are basically OK
But times like these aren’t normal, take it with more than just a grain
This smear campaign against Dumbledore has us wondering who you’re working for
And this article about muggleborns stealing magic shows what’s going on

The Prophet’s now a mouthpiece for the Ministry
Regurgitating their lies obsequiously
There’s no news about the Ministry’s fall cause Voldemort controls it all
The Prophet’s now a mouthpiece for the Ministry

What’s the narrative?
Who’s it benefit?

There’s no news about Scrimgeour’s death cause Voldemort controls the press
The Prophet’s now a mouthpiece for the Ministry

A public disservice for protecting one’s own skin
But how do we measure the cost of the news that don’t make it in
The Wizard Wireless Network stopped reporting events
For resistance news put Potterwatch on your deck
There’s a lot more to the story and each of us is a player
Just be sure you’re not getting played

Who’s pulling the strings
That push the keys
That print the words
That fill the pages
Of the paper
That you’re holding in your hand?

What’s the narrative?
Who’s it benefit?

This bogus research on muggleborns shows it’s really just a propaganda arm
The Prophet’s now a mouthpiece for the Ministry
The Prophet’s now espousing pureblood supremacy
The Prophet’s now a mouthpiece for the Ministry
