Breaking News Lyrics by Token Genius

Searching the Signals

2017

[Verse 1]
Breaking news, an exposé on our tools
We use human emotions for some sensational views
You viewers are simply prey to consume
We simply pray you consume our material as the truth
(Now as we resume...) Yeah, I'm not oblivious to it
Flip on the news then remember why I don't listen to it
By wording the story writers use, someone must think I'm stupid
Get a text like "Whaddup TG?"- nothing much, going through it
Job stuff, working out, messing with knobs and buttons
On a synth I copped 'cause I coveted though it's outta my budget
Ah, fuck it- I'ma go out and get what I deserve
'Cause to pundits, you look at all like me, they're not concerned
Oh, a suspect? He's guilty, let's kill him, we got the urge
Tune in at 6 pm, the 1950s re-emerge
Channel to channel, I'm steady flipping through all the dirge
Panhandler standards got me flipping my screen the bird-word

[Verse 2]
Developing story, though it's not ours to tell
Huge companies own us, so it's theirs to sell
Creative marketing like ads for apparel
It's only entertainment predicated on peril
(Coming up at 11 crude oil by the barrel...) I am not entertained
I cannot entertain a form where biases reign
Old prejudices remain but they're careful in the write-up
Perception is reality, they use that to divide us
Red or blue state, we all need green to provide us a life in the black
Seems the stock market is looking light, huh?
Guess that's why some of y'all recommend we buy stuff
That we don't really need from a wishing well that's dried up (C'mon don't lie to us)
Let's cut to commercial for something less controversial
The people that write our checks do need a product dispersal
It shouldn't affect our content, but you'd be surprised
This isn't really news anymore, get with the times
