lyrics

Envy, bitterness
Borderline illiterates
Staring into the Sun
Blinded by a wave of scum
Aroused by lust and rage
Tits and hate on every page
Opium for the dumb
Charmed by snake oil salesmen

Opening the Mail
Fear fodder for the pale
Phobic yet filled with pride
Scared to set a foot outside
"A foreigner could hide
Behind any friendly smile
Agents of far-flung shores
Come to take our jobs and laws"

Meanwhile, on the screen
Product placement, corporate greed
An eyesore no-one needs
Intertwined with social feeds
An endless stream of waste
Hosted by a pretty face
A gleaming pile of trash
Shortening attention spans
Even the BBC
Revels in sycophancy
Too scared to raise a peep
Lest they lose their license fees
A well oiled machine
Lending legitimacy
To useful conspiracies
Claiming impartiality

Choose your favourite truth
Channel Four or GB News
It could be peer reviewed
Or just some guy on Youtube
Nobody even cares
As long as your truth matches theirs
And no-one is prepared
To compromise with each other
