Fake News

Woke up to find someone’s unfriended me today

Doesn’t like the way I see the world

It could be we just never were such good friends anyway

But I’m still stinging from the epithets he hurled

And the truth’s a shot, receding into the past

And I’ve gotta grab some,cause it’s flying from me fast

So please, don’t gimme the fake news

If I have to read all night I will just to find the right facts to choose

Ah, don’t gimme the fake news

No, not the fake news

Work is hard and home is even harder

This counter’s a good two feet high with bills

And I can’t bear to look that way, so I’ll leave the room and walk away

Pull the blinds down until they’re past the sills

My couch is deep and red and it calls me in

And my big remote, it asks me where I’ve been, where I’ve been

So go ahead and play me some fake news

And I’ll just change the channel if I wanna change my views

Just gimme the fake news

Yeah the fake news

It’s a foggy morning without a prayer; it’s a foggy morning everywhere

Need a narrow beam of light to help me see

We’ll find the gloves that fit these hands

We can’t all be Switzerlands

So I’ve picked my side now and nothing’s gonna sway me

I’m safe inside this one-way mirrored dome

And I know who I’ll agree with, and I know whose ears I’ll hear with

And I’ll type the address that leads me to my home

And home’s a place where they all think like me

And home’s a soft and sleepy, cozy place to be, so

So just gimme the fake news

Nothing too hard to swallow for this boy with the blues

Just gimme the fake news (nothing too hard to swallow)

Just gimme the fake news (for this boy with the blues)

Just gimme the fake news

The fake news, the fake news

Just gimme the fake news

The fake news, the fake news
