Know the news are fake If it's "after break" If it's eighteenth take It's to smoke you baked It's to brainwash you Every night and day Every word's been weighed Every fact is strayed Every truth mislaid Is to docile you More actually You don't get to see How the truth's forsook With every book they cook Every rumour spread Every headline read Every clickbait thread Every talking head's Paid to lie to you If you coped with the prime time news of late You must have noticed they never get it straight They double down if it's near election date If Hell froze over they'd still spin to their graves It's all lying, highly wily sleaze More actually What you get for free's Worth the price you paid Pimped manure in spades Every fib reclad Every "up next" ad Every new doodad Every trending fad Is to unhinge you Journos on the make Love to bring the stakes Who's the sucker? You! Helps them sidetrack you Every common sense Has an alt-fact lens What it is depends If it's red or blue Every week of sweeps Every soundbite bleep When the garbage heap's Sent to you as new If it makes you ache If you sense a flake Have a coffee break It'll defrustrate you Know the news are fake If they point to cake Make a double take Cos they mess with you Journos on the take Know the news are fake They are slithering snakes Paid to obscure truth Know the news are fake © Peter Andersson 2017 |
