lyrics

Seems everywhere you look these days, it’s all bad news
On the TV, check the phone, there’s no escape
Before the incident’s even escalated
They’re scaremongering
Screaming from the rooftops, extra extra speculation
And it makes you think
What’s really going on

Always two steps ahead of the game
Hard to know what to believe in anymore
Fear sells, fear dwells, say it enough and fear impairs
Like fierce spells, it toys with mental health
The obsessive need to exaggerate, the condescension is offensive and nauseating
Spreading rumours of impending danger
From the comfort of your desk to manipulate a stranger

Shocking statistics and graphic images
If its anyway possible…then we’ll print it

Seems everywhere you look these days, it’s all bad news
On the TV, check the phone, there’s no escape
Before the incident’s even escalated
They’re scaremongering
Screaming from the rooftops, extra extra speculation
…
What’s really going on?

This media circus is the greatest act of all
Have us walk the tightrope and see how far we fall
They push the boundaries, guaranteed a bunch of clowns that don’t proof read
Falsely led contortionists, break our backs for the pessimists
Too easy to fixate, when they dictate, what we read when allured by the clickbait
Nonsense, similarity by immoral correspondence
Don’t look now cus it’s outta control
Don’t ask questions, your only warnings in bold
Keep your eyes ahead while at the side of the road is a diamond shape sign and it’s painted in gold
It’s a yellow warning
This information, disinformation, it’s circulation has captivated and will damn the nation
Stretch the creases, strain the blindfold
Abstract voids, fairytales and factoids
Public health scares, political wars and Black Lives
Matter of fact, it should be simple as that
Put it in words that you know you can back
And we can do better, we can do better
We need composure
For every newsflash is indecent exposure

Seems everywhere you look these days, it’s all bad news
On the TV, check the phone, there’s no escape
Before the incident’s even escalated
They’re scaremongering
Screaming from the rooftops, extra extra speculation

Take it with a pinch of salt
They won’t tell us everything they know
It seems we’ve got a problem
The voice of doom is calling
They wanna keep us in the dark
Poke and tease until we bark
It’s clear they’ve found their rhythm
In sensationalism (x2)
