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, they 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, they 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 they say, not as they 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, they captivate
We blindly follow their trail like human sheep
Never awake, always asleep!
