America How did we get here 24 hour news cycle Veal force fed fear Reality television Without any content Morality supposition Flaming discontent Ignored civic duty We really don't care Reward the unruly We like what we hear Some because we're better than that Others because they want to take back What never belonged To only the few It's not media bias That you can undo You've tended a tree Of hatred and fear Don't be surprised By the fruit that it bears It's become inconvenient Even you can see that Calling fact fiction And fiction fact It's a grand old party But parties don't last Your house is on fire And you lit the match
