Misinformation Age
Unveiling the Misinformation Age
Lyrics
It's on for 24 hours every single day
Highlighting the constant availability of information 24/7.
Information age, misinformation age
Drawing attention to the prevalence of misinformation in the current era of information overload.
See the blood on the floor where the money is made
Pointing out the negative consequences and violence associated with the pursuit of wealth.
Information age, misinformation age
Reiterating the theme of misinformation in the age of abundant data.
They pump it though your wires to a TV screen
Describing the transmission of information through electronic channels to TV screens.
And now they'll talk-talk-talk, don't mean anything
Expressing skepticism about the significance of incessant talk and discussions.
To be the king of the misinformation age
Desiring to be influential in a world dominated by misinformation.
I feel it more and more every breath I take
Feeling the overwhelming impact of misinformation with every breath.
I'm gonna suffocate, we're gonna suffocate
Conveying a sense of suffocation and the collective impact of misinformation.
Paid the guards, paid 'em off, but we're still not safe
Highlighting the inability to ensure safety despite paying off guards due to the elusive nature of truth.
'Cause the truth is gray, yeah the truth is gray
Emphasizing the ambiguous and unclear nature of the truth.
I see a hairspray can and a wide-tooth comb
Observing mundane objects as symbols, possibly representing superficial distractions.
I see the masters of distraction owning everything
Identifying those adept at diverting attention as controllers of everything.
From this information age
Linking distractions and control to the broader context of the information age.
It's on for 24 hours every single day
Reiterating the constant flow of information and misinformation.
Information age, misinformation age
Stressing the coexistence of information and misinformation in the contemporary era.
A demagogue in a suit, selling fear and hate
Describing a charismatic leader in formal attire who exploits fear and hate to protect wealth.
To keep his money safe, keep his money safe
Emphasizing the motivation of preserving personal wealth in using fear and hate.
The stain of blood on the floor where the money is made
Repeating the image of bloodstains to symbolize the cost of wealth accumulation.
With all the talk-talk-talk that don't mean anything
Highlighting the ineffectiveness of constant talk and discussions in bringing about meaningful change.
To be the king of the misinformation age
Expressing a desire for influence and power in the misinformation age.
To be the king of the misinformation age
Reiterating the aspiration to be a prominent figure in the era of widespread misinformation.
