grip on the news lyrics
[verse 1]
back when i was at school
there was a rule about a uniform
so all the drones could look like clones
that they could misinform
with their ambivalent, equivalent [?]
so we would underform
the facts were the facts
and they were never up for questioning
we had to swallow every hollow little lecturing
all of the clever things we never got a lesson in
so here’s a reckoning
[pre~chorus]
there’s no time to find out what you believe
when you’re so poor that you can’t breathe
[chorus]
keep the feeble~less feeble
as a sheep in the yard
then it isn’t so hard
to play the fascism card
keep them away from the facts
just keep them dumb and relaxed
delirious and confused
just keep a grip on the news
[verse 2]
well back when i was a child
there was a library but now it’s closed
so all the drones consult their phones
to find out how it goes
keep them distracted from the facts
with spartan seasonal close
and reality shows
don’t you wish it was fair
don’t you despair about the state we’re in
the world is ending while you’re trending and vacationing
why aren’t you fighting every night about the state of things
and what the future brings
[pre~chorus]
there’s no time to find out what you believe
when you’re so poor that you can’t breathe
[chorus]
keep the feeble~less feeble
as a sheep in the yard
then it isn’t so hard
to play the fascism card
keep them away from the facts
just keep them dumb and relaxed
delirious and confused
and keep a grip on the news
~break~
[bridge]
so i guess in the end
you want your friends to view you gently
you want your dreams to not be meaningless and empty
you want to feel you lived a real~life of plenty
by you i meant me
[pre~chorus]
there’s no time to find out what you believe
when you’re so poor that you can’t breathe
[chorus]
keep the feeble~less feeble
as a sheep in the yard
then it isn’t so hard
to play the fascism card
keep them away from the facts
just keep them dumb and relaxed
delirious and confused
and keep a grip on the news
[outro]
keep the feeble~less feeble
as a sheep in the yard
then it isn’t so hard
to play the fascism card
keep them away from the facts
just keep them dumb and relaxed
delirious and confused
and keep a grip on the news
