[Intro]
\nBreaking news!
\n(Who’s breaking what?)
\nAnother truth!
\n(Or maybe whatnot!)
\nThe facts are facts
\n(Until they’re not)
\nWelcome to the circus
\n(Where the clowns call the shots!)<\/p>\n
[Verse 1]
\nWake up, check your timeline
\nSee what everybody knows
\nYet another prime time crime
\nSpun so the rumor grows<\/p>\n
A rumor gets a rocket
\nA lie gets running shoes
\nAnd facts are in the corner
\nWith a serious case of the blues<\/p>\n
[Refrain]
\nSocial truth
\n(Are you serious?)
\nKnow’s no couth
\n(Must be delirious)<\/p>\n
Nothing you do
\n(Is true)
\nInflicting your insanity
\n(On all of humanity)<\/p>\n
Shame, shame, shame
\n(You’re to blame)<\/p>\n
[Verse 2]
\nYou bend what is true
\nTill it breaks in half
\nTake a fact, twist it n’ spew
\nTurn the whole thing into laugh<\/p>\n
Make an enemy of reason
\nMake a hero of deceit
\nThen convince the whole damn crowd
\nThat the lies are indiscreet<\/p>\n
[Refrain]
\nSocial truth
\n(Are you serious?)
\nKnow’s no couth
\n(Must be delirious)<\/p>\n
Nothing you do
\n(Is true)
\nInflicting your insanity
\n(On all of humanity)<\/p>\n
Shame, shame, shame
\n(You’re to blame)<\/p>\n
Truth is not a popularity contest
\n(Not a vote, not a trend)
\nA million people repeating a falsehood
\n(Doesn’t make it true in the end)<\/p>\n
You can fool a few
\n(You can fool a crowd)
\nYou can make a lie
\n(Sound awfully loud)<\/p>\n
But reality keeps knocking
\n(At the door you barricade)
\nYou can argue with the mirror
\n(But the image doesn’t fade!)<\/p>\n
Fact check!
\n(What the heck?)
\nDouble check!
\n(Who’s a wreck?)<\/p>\n
Clickbait!
\n(Too late!)
\nTruth serum!
\n(Who can hear ’em?)<\/p>\n
Is it factual…
\n(… or theatrical!)
\nCan you conceive
\n(How they believe)
\nHook, line, and sinker
\n(Swallowed the thinker)<\/p>\n
[Final Refrain]
\nSocial truth
\n(Are you serious?)
\nKnow’s no couth
\n(Must be delirious)<\/p>\n
Nothing you do
\n(Is true)
\nInflicting your insanity
\n(On all of humanity)<\/p>\n
Shame, shame, shame
\n(You’re to blame)<\/p>\n
[Outro]
\nSocial truth
\n(Who’s keeping score?)
\nSocial truth
\n(We can’t take much more!)<\/p>\n
Shame, shame, shame
\n(Stop playing the game!)
\nShame, shame, shame
\n(Truth isn’t yours to rename!)<\/p>\n
Social truth\u2026
\n(Are you serious?)
\nSocial truth\u2026
\n(Or just delirious?)<\/p>\n
Lame (brain)<\/p>\n
