Blame it on the Media

Wish I could pause
all this noise
and fast-forward
past the day
without an election at play,

With all its commotion, 
slamming fists, 
catchy headlines
so hard to resist. 

Perhaps it's the media 
that gets us inflamed 
with all the name-calling, 
political games.

Accusations, 
political gyrations, 
pick a side,
abide,
live in fear,
try to hide,
turn the page,
feel rage,
then there’s hope,
others say nope.

I remember the days 
of no news haze, 
just find a station you liked
without all the hype. 

But magazines have died 
newspapers too, 
there's no place to hide 
while they follow you

With cookies, cache,
don’t you dare look away,
look what I have
just for you,
a tailor-made product
perfect and true.

Headlines that scream
pay attention to me,
don't change the channel, 
can't you see 
I need your clicks and bites 
to exist 
look at this story,
and get your news fix.


(How do you vet 
what's going on 
when the ads cut and paste 
showing someone is wrong?)

Slogans like scraps 
thrown out to a dog, 
maybe you'll bite 
with confusing word bogs.

Soon this will all be over, 
And I'll get back to my show
but the ads will still follow me,
with all the info they know.

Love that dark synth feel to this, I also love the way you tell this story of media and its deep web of spiraling rules and brainwashing spells .... Super post and amazing ASMR like vocals .... 👍

@TrebleFace @Sprout thanks so much… There's so much finger-pointing these days on both sides of the divide. I'm glad you like this song.
