Description
4th track of the album, a Prince sounding song. A track very reminiscent to Timbaland's, Justin Timberlake's and 90s Michael Jackson's work.
Matt wrote Propaganda when he was driving one day, and he had an idea which he recorded into his phone. “We had this sort of Prince thing going on. My voice is not a traditional rock voice, so with my falsetto I like to go down the Prince route. That is what that song is really. It’s influenced by hip-hop and funk. Jumps out as being influenced by the American beat — a slow, almost hip-hop type beat”.[1]
Matt made a mistake with the references, he meant those 'Dementor' things but got it mixed up with 'death eaters'.[2] Matt also explained that he rhymed 'floozy with woozy because it was a doozy'.[3]
Propaganda (Acoustic version)
The alternate reality version of the song makes some features more clear to hear, in the chorus there's the voice of a girl singing ah's and in the 'propaganda' loop a woman can be heard screaming.
You can see the official lyric video of this version here.
Live
A short 30 second clip of the song was played to the studio audience at the taping of Taratata.

Lyrics
Propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda.
Floozy You got me trapped in a dark fantasy world Don't you know you make me woozy You have me wrapped around your little finger
Baby, don't you know you can't lose You make me offers that I can't refuse You keep telling pretty lies You toy with the truth Oh you're killing me with your Propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda.
Cold chick You ate my soul like a death eater I'm the ocean you're an oil slick Now I'm choking on your thought pollution
Baby don't you know you can't lose You make me offers that I can't refuse You keep telling pretty lies You toy with the truth Oh you’re killing me with your Propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda.
(Guitar solo)
You can't lose You make me offers that I can't refuse You keep telling pretty lies, babe Baby, don't you know you can't lose You make me offers that I can't refuse, yeah You contort me with your lies, baby Don't you know that you just can't lose You make me offers that I can't refuse, yeah You keep telling pretty lies You play with truth Oh you're killing me with your Propaganda
