Lyrics
False headlines full of lies
False headlines filled with untruths or falsehoods
to keep us entertained
These headlines are created to maintain our interest or keep us entertained
Promises made to lure you in
Promises are made to attract or entice people, but they don't deliver anything substantial
yet nothing gained
No actual benefits or gains obtained despite the promises
Draw you in like vultures
Draws individuals in aggressively, akin to vultures attracted to decaying flesh
to a pile of rotting meat
Comparing the allure to a pile of decomposing meat
The snare is set in bold lettering
The trap is prominently displayed, easily noticeable, within bold and striking text
as we swallow the deceit
We consume the lies and deceit despite recognizing the trap
So naïve
Describing people as gullible or easily fooled
So easily deceived
People are easily tricked or misled
So ignorant
Refers to a lack of knowledge or awareness, making individuals susceptible to manipulation
Fall for all the tales they weave
Believing all the stories created by others
They mislead
They lead us astray or guide us with false information
They speak and every word we heed
We pay attention to their every word, heed without critical assessment
Hearing only what we think we need
Listening selectively, only to what we think is necessary or relevant
We take the clickbait
We fall for the sensationalized information or headlines
Follow as they lead
Following their lead or guidance blindly
With every word the captivate
They captivate us with each word they say
We blindly follow
We unquestioningly follow them like sheep
Their trail like human sheep
Blindly following without being aware or conscious
Never awake, always asleep
Metaphorically asleep, unaware of the reality or truth
Twisting people’s words and then
Distorting people's messages and feeding them to the audience
they pour them in your ears
Injecting lies into the ears of the listeners, suppressing the truth
In with the lies, out with the truth
The truth disappears while falsehoods prevail
all facts just disappear
Facts are obscured or eliminated entirely
Spoken words are mangled into ones you never meant
Words are twisted, changing the intended meaning
All distorted, corrupting all intent
Corruption of the original meaning or purpose of the words spoken
Our journalistic masters
Those in control of the media or journalism dictate, and people obediently follow
command and we obey
Obedience to journalistic figures or authorities
Fall in line like lemmings
Blindly following the lead of those manipulating the information
that feed these birds of prey
People act as submissive followers, enabling the manipulators
Do as we say not as we do
Ignoring personal judgment or critical thinking, following instructions
stop thinking on your own
Encouraging others to obey, not question, and demand more sensationalized content
Scream for more red meat
Seeking more sensationalized content while already engrossed in what's presented
while gnawing on the bone
Consuming content voraciously without considering its validity
