about

Track 3 from the Anecdata double album, 'Undelete', and the first single.

lyrics

now listen
if i was just a puppet, with strings around my fingers
just typing out the message the lizards want you hearing
then why do they complain so much ado about the nothing?
it's like i can write what i want with no one listening

it's nothing you want to know
we're tracking what you view
what's happening in your world
it's just the effing news
you don't want to be informed
you want "reality"
don't say you haven't been warned
that nothing comes for free
that's the enemy
that's the effing news, you see

my bosses
they didn't like the first verse, they wanted you to know that
they have an iron fist on my writing like an autocrat
they only let me write it to plausibly deny it
and fire me and scapegoat me and call it fake news

whatever you wanna hear, it's bound to be out there
whatever you wanna hear, it's bound to be out there
whatever you wanna hear, it's bound to be out there
this is the effing news
