lyrics

A new announcement has been made
Still the same as yesterday
As it's always been
Though his mouth is open wide
You cannot see the hand inside
That pulls the strings
The latest project has been canned
But did you see the sleight of hand?

(Chorus)
Mechanical Turk behind the scenes
Tucked inside the TV screen
His silent voice
Has made your choice

Making light of the deceit
Owning up but still discrete
Yet more delay
Though constant wailing at the wall
Never blinked an eye at all
Just waved away
Controlling hands beneath the table
You try to see but you're unable
