Analysis of Spin Doctor, Spin
Artfully deceive
Manipulate the news
Keep it up a sleeve
Spin Doctor, spin
Tamper with the facts
Interpolate the signs
Alter till it cracks
Spin Doctor, spin
Cleverly conceal
Impersonate the poor
Mask it as ideal
Spin Doctor, spin
Fiddle with the truth
Contaminate the finds
Hide it from a sleuth
Spin Doctor, spin
Cunningly confuse
Eliminate the clear
Twist it to bemuse.
