Lyrics

Don’t read the news 4x

Divide us by color
Divide us by shape
Compete us with each other
And fill us with hate

Hate all the seekers
Hate all the truth
Now our blood becomes the measure
Of who gets to choose

Verse 1:
Eyes
Straight to the front
Be nice
Do what you’re told
Don’t think twice
Scurry round the block like a mice
The news is here
To save your life

Extra extra read all about it

Buy
Another magazine
Another lie
Shut the propaganda off your devices
Cos one more lie
Leads to many more lies
What comes through that door
Gotcha questioning more
Get outta this space
I gotta seize the day

Chorus:
Don’t read the news
You’re just gonna end up more confused
You said you need to know
But what’s the use
Don’t read the news
Your mind’s gonna end up split in two
The fear’s gonna make forget the truth
Advertising more greed
Advertising more needs
Once you cross the lines You’ll be lost in lies

Verse 2:
Guys!
you got to
Know the rules
Don’t be naive
It’s time to take off your disguise
If you play their games
You gotta pay their price
So get wise
The fake news mafia won’t play nice
Listen to what they advertise
Get a privilege card for a better life
It gets you through that door
But they’ll get you for more
Better do as you’re told they're gonna save your soul

Chorus:
Don’t read the news
You’re just gonna end up more confused
You said you need to know
But what’s the use
Don’t read the news
Your mind’s gonna end up split in two
The fear’s gonna make forget the truth
Advertising more greed
Advertising more needs
Once you cross the lines You’ll be lost in lies

Verse 3:
Lies
Everybody’s telling dem lies
The truth be like rolling a dice
The promises you buy
won’t be as advertised
If you walk through that door
There’s hundred more
What’s the latest craze
Oh help me get away

Chorus:
Don’t read the news
You’re just gonna end up more confused
You said you need to know
But what’s the use
Don’t read the news
Your mind’s gonna end up split in two
The fear’s gonna make forget the truth
Advertising more greed
Advertising more needs
Once you cross the lines
You’ll be lost in lies

Bridge:
One more lie it, only works if you buy
Just one more bite, another piece of the pie
Another jab
Another gag
Another social tag
Have I got you yet?
The money’s in the bag

La la li
Da di da
Da da da da
da da dai

Chorus:
Don’t read the news
You’re just gonna end up more confused
You said you need to know
But what’s the use
Don’t read the news
Your mind’s gonna end up split in two
The fear’s gonna make forget the truth
More greed
More need
I've crossed the lines
I've lost my mind

Don't read the news please!
Um... can you hand the remote?
