Watch Headline News for an hour
It's the most depressing thing you'll ever do
WAR, FAMINE, DEATH, AIDS,
HOMELESS, RECESSION, DEPRESSION,
DROUGHT, FLOOD, PITBULL
WAR, FAMINE, DEATH, AIDS
Then you look out your window, it's just
(Crickets)
One
Two
Three
Four
Propaganda, scare tactics
Doom squad lookin all under your mattress
Got em st-st-stutterin doing backflips
Now they running towards the gas with a match lit
Propaganda, scare tactics
Doom squad lookin all under your mattress
Got em st-st-stutterin doing backflips
Now they running towards the gas with a match lit
That's it
Fool, you ain't gotta lie to kick it
Cry wolf, tryna trick em into buying a ticket
Just crickets
All I hear is crickets
Just crickets
Where the rich get slick and trick bigots
And all you hear is
Media thugs faking news in some new suits
A couple puppets calling shots through a bluetooth
What's new, what's cool, tell em who's who
Pity the fool with Fox News on the Boob Tube
Steady gettin paid fabricating new scoops
Lying through the tooth got em cruising in a new coupe
While y'all live in fear and kill each other over new shoes
I'm tryna buy a new guitar to play the blues through
Not biting tongues, they're too tough to chew through
Got me thinking to myself
What would Lenny Bruce do?
If I die young, it'd kinda be like kissing God
Better than me living in a prison with a kitchen job
Kiss the I's goodbye, defy the probable lie
For every fly caught with chopsticks
A martyr will die
Do what you gotta do
It's honorable, we've got to survive
Kinda foolish just assuming that your God'll provide
Scare tactics
Doom squad lookin all under your mattress
Got em st-st-stutterin doing backflips
Now they running towards the gas with a match lit

And all you hear is
We used to shred huh?
