The secondhand fiction we believe is the news
And trust like holy writ the slant it gives our views
A ruse for the public, written by zealous scribes
Sycophants for power, splitting us into tribes

Attacking each other, their stories we believe
The narratives of which were written to deceive
Chiding us for thinking, claiming we must be mad
How dare we dare to think and see that we’ve been had

The joke has been on us, though we are not deranged
Let’s turn it back on them, it’s time to make a change
Stop believing the barons who control the world
Corporate oligarchs, their agendas unfurled

Misleading the masses for money and power
Scheming hegemony from their gilded tower
The owners of this world, who also own the press
Manipulate our thoughts for selfish interests
