lyrics

Sing to me, it is the same old song
When no uncertainty survives
But all the facts went wrong
Sing to me, strike the reverberant gong
In this encasement falsehoods thrive
Disinformation's born

It's lather, rinse, repeat
Distort until complete
Through tribalism we always seem to
regard it as true
Suppress, withhold the files
Insurgent voice exiled
If all comes out in time, they'll just say
an apology's due

The echo chamber calls
It bounces off the walls, it is a lie
But we're so comforted by our certainty
The truth remains unseen
We're cogs in the machine
They lead the blind
Only shadows we'll find
Of what once was real

“Once the wheels are set in motion,
it becomes nearly impossible for people
to accept new facts that refute the rumour.
And it is through this mechanism that even
the slightest hints of economic decline
become self-fulfilling prophecies.”

Sing to me, it is the same old song
So little subtlety survives
And all the facts went wrong

The echo chamber sounds
Convenient culprit found
The buckets full of blame are in place
above the drop zone
We need not be concerned
Our prejudice confirmed
We elbow through the crowd
to try to cast the first stone

“Your internet browsing experience is
highly personalised. Any opinions conflicting
with your own are filtered out”
