Nothing makes me lose more faith in this world
than the stupidity of everyday human events
We no longer care about the truth or any freedoms
Like, share 'n' subscribe 'cause democracy's dead
The Traffic’s what drives us, it's where the money's at
Don't care about the truth because we can make our own facts
Social media's too scared to punish idols for their sins
Cause they might promote murder, but "they bring the people in!"
We've begun to blur the lines between science fact and science fiction
Txt spk nw so evryday we no longer use any diction
You can see someone die now and you really don't care
But "did you see which celebrity thinks the world is really square?"
News isn't news now it's now just filled with awful lies
What brings the numbers in will be sensationalised
Take a bow to your braying crowd as they begin to throw you money
"Like, share 'n' subscribe if you found the story funny!"
It's no longer called lying, it's now alternative facts
Misinformation earns promotions when they should be getting sacked
"I know he's barely ill but we need the story read,
So can we change that old headline to say he's very nearly dead!"
We live in a world where we spend our lives deluded
Snapchat filters, Facebook likes are all just there to really fool us
I've got 10,000 fans here just look how much they care
"Like share 'n' subscribe" 'cause there's no one's really there.
