Who Delivers the Poison?

Who delivers the poison that kills you?
Who persuades you to drink the vial?
Who is that soul so conniving and clever
You endorse what he says with great style?

You are hardly alone
You are hardly just one
But the grip of your master
Will not come undone

At least it won't
At least it can't
Unless you recognize that grip
If you let go of the hand that holds on to you
Out of his hand you can slip

Who delivers the poison that will kill you?
It's the poison that kills our land
And whatever the media
Whatever the medium
Let go of that contraband

He's tricky
He's clever
He's persuasive
You listen to his every word

You believe him
You trust him
And you suppose that you know him
But he drags you off to the slaughter
Just another steer in a very large herd

Who delivers the poison that kills you?
Who persuades you to drink the vial?
Fox News, it might be
Or maybe Glenn Beck
It's whoever you've been listening to all the while
