Critique of Media Fearmongering
Welcome to cartoon reality
Where fear porn pays the bills
The panic gets great ratings Cheap,
lie, and fake are the skills
In a world where logic went on strike Common sense vanished overnight
Talking heads in endless loop Selling panic, an immoral coup
Shakesputs waving charts and bullshit screens Memes rewriting what
truth
obscene Is everyone yelling "I am right" But then Perry peddles through the
night
I am terrified of things that don't exist
WMDs that don't exist Smaller nations on their list So I
go and gang up like only cowards do
Mass hypnotized by nightly news And spread the fear the deep state spews
Breaking news every day Brand new monster on display
Economic doom, COVID plight New emergency by morning
light
Digital ghost in your phone Invisible hackers in every home Five
new crises by the hour Fear porn lies as deep state power
I am terrified of things that don't exist
New bioweapon con on the list The lies and science that they twist I'm
so afraid of the common bloody cold All
the fear porn that they sold Their pharmaceutical black gold
Orange man and Putin man Every headline
falsely scammed Trending villains every week Deep state distracts the meek
and weak Talking heads with plastic grins Explaining where the fear
begins Every crisis neatly planned Every outrage on
demand Breaking news, fresh new scare
Pick a villain, cry beware Left side, right side
Everybody pick a side Now get taken
for a ride
Join the bandwagon, climb inside
Screens glow,
ratings climb
Fear's the product every
time I am
terrified of things that don't exist
WMDs that don't exist Smaller nations on their list I'm so
afraid of the common bloody cold
All the fear porn that they sold Their pharmaceutical black
gold
I am terrified of things that don't exist
WMDs that don't exist Smaller nations on their list I'm so
afraid of common bloody cold The
fear porn that they sold Their pharmaceutical black
gold So I wank my coward
dick To a bioweapon con I can't sense it's fucking
wrong My instincts and soul are gone I'm terrified of
things that don't exist Every panic on their list Every
headline that they twist I'm so afraid of the script
they always told The same old circus being rolled Fear porn reality
that we're sold I'm so fucking
dumb I went and sold my soul For a donut with a hole For
their pharmaceutical black gold
So I wank my coward dick To a bioweapon con I
can't sense it's fucking wrong My instincts and soul are
gone
I am terrified of things that don't exist
Every panic on their list Every headline that they twist I'm so
afraid of the script they always told The same old
circus being rolled Fear porn reality that we're sold I'm
so fucking dumb I went and sold my soul For a
donut with a hole For their pharmaceutical black gold
So I wank my coward dick To a bioweapon con
I can't sense it's fucking wrong My instincts and soul are gone
