Face The Nation Lyrics - John Hiatt

My mind is finally clearing 

What is this sound I'm hearing? 

Chainsaws on bone and gristle 

Carving out a new epistle 

I've got my pencil sharpened 

I will not be disheartened 

I won't be disenchanted 

Even though the news is slanted 

Face the nation 

Face the nation 

Face the nation

Watch Beck's Heroic New Music Video For 'Up All Night' 

I see you shaping nooses 

Sixty minutes of excuses 

Airwaves and wire service 

Trying to make me nervous 

Your problem's overrated 

Your headaches are inflated 

No talk now, only chatter 

Little chipmunk, what's the matter? 

Face the nation 

Face the nation 

Face the nation 

Photos 

I'm entertaining notions 

Propelled by raw emotions 

Put down your Time and Newsweek 

Listen to me when I speak 

There is no pulse to finger 

No waves of grain to bring her 

No purple mountain story 

And no epoch of glory 

Face the nation 

Face the nation 

Face the nation
