False headlines full of lies
To keep us entertained
Promises made to lure you in
Yet nothing gained
Draw you in like vultures
To a pile of rotting meat
The snare is set in bold lettering
As we swallow the deceit

So naïve
So easily deceived
So ignorant
Fall for all the tales they weave
They mislead
They speak and every word we heed
Hearing only what we think we need

We take the clickbait
Follow as they lead
With every word the captivate
We blindly follow
Their trail like human sheep
Never awake, always asleep

Twisting people's words and then
They pour them in your ears
In with the lies, out with the truth
All facts just disappear
Spoken thoughts are mangled into ones you never meant
All distorted, corrupting all intent

So naïve
So easily deceived
So ignorant
Fall for all the tales they weave
They mislead
They speak and every word we heed
Hearing only what we think we need

We take the clickbait
Follow as they lead
With every word the captivate
We blindly follow
Their trail like human sheep
Never awake, always asleep

Our journalistic masters
Command and we obey
Fall in line like lemmings
That feed these birds of prey
Do as we say not as we do
Stop thinking on your own
Scream for more red meat
While gnawing on the bone

So naïve
So easily deceived
So ignorant
Fall for all the tales they weave
They mislead
They speak and every word we heed
Hearing only what we think we need

We take the clickbait
Follow as they lead
With every word the captivate
We blindly follow
Their trail like human sheep
Never awake, always asleep
