lyrics

Headlines cry another one died
Better crawl under your rock
Your system can’t handle the shock
Collapse in the corner and try to hide

Dopamine machines and adrenaline fiends
We haven’t changed much since caveman times
When the terror of living kept us alive
Fight or flight specimens

Hopeless or enraged
It’s all the same
Front page news assaults your brain
Are you informed
Of the coming storm?
You better stay inside and lock the doors

An all-you-can-eat buffet of news
Gobble down expert opinions
Who bicker back and forth like children
Spit it out like fast food

Facebook vigilantes scream their truth
A conspiracy to siphon the power
We’re losing freedom by the hour
They wave a rag and call it proof

Depressed or broken
So we feel hopeless
Front page news like opium
Addicted to fear
Sickness that we’re
Too afraid to fight
Lock the doors and stay inside

Pick a hill to die on and choose a side
Beneath the flag you worship
Smells a lot like sacred horseshit

Burn it all down like charcoal
Today’s news forgotten by tomorrow
The latest fashion is murder

Hopeless or enraged
It’s all the same
Front page news assaults your brain
Are you informed
Of the coming storm?
You better stay inside and lock the doors
They’re coming for you
