๐ Lyrics
Let's not pretend you're objective
Fact-check into oblivion
You use your weapons like a pro
(The Fourth Estate)
Words can cu t deeper than a sword
Out with the truth, on with the show
Run with the headlines you can sell
(Just give it to us straight)
Woah
The old muck-rakers
Now thought police
(The thought police)
Woah
A true gainsayer
Can sift the chaff from wheat
Not an impartial journalist
Crusading party activist
Exposed as assets of the state
(It's time to clean the slate)
Woah
The old muck-rakers
Now thought police
(The thought police)
Woah
A true gainsayer
Can sift the chaff from wheat
An institution co-opted and captured
Before long you're put out to pasture
The sun sets on the charter of the press
Collapsing mass formation
The sleeping giant will soon awaken
Breaking the shackles of the brainwashed and oppressed
Woah
The old muck-rakers
Now thought police
(The thought police)
Woah
A true gainsayer
Can sift the chaff from wheat
Gripped by your hidden masters
Same old politicasters
Incentive structure built on grift and gain
You sold us out for power
These are the final hours
A house divided can't withstand the strain
Fact-check into oblivion
You use your weapons like a pro
(The Fourth Estate)
Words can cu t deeper than a sword
Out with the truth, on with the show
Run with the headlines you can sell
(Just give it to us straight)
Woah
The old muck-rakers
Now thought police
(The thought police)
Woah
A true gainsayer
Can sift the chaff from wheat
Not an impartial journalist
Crusading party activist
Exposed as assets of the state
(It's time to clean the slate)
Woah
The old muck-rakers
Now thought police
(The thought police)
Woah
A true gainsayer
Can sift the chaff from wheat
An institution co-opted and captured
Before long you're put out to pasture
The sun sets on the charter of the press
Collapsing mass formation
The sleeping giant will soon awaken
Breaking the shackles of the brainwashed and oppressed
Woah
The old muck-rakers
Now thought police
(The thought police)
Woah
A true gainsayer
Can sift the chaff from wheat
Gripped by your hidden masters
Same old politicasters
Incentive structure built on grift and gain
You sold us out for power
These are the final hours
A house divided can't withstand the strain
