West Park - Fake News Lyrics

People don't tell you the truth (Tell the truth)
A quick click spreading fake news (Fake news)
Didn't show up to the voting booth (Gotta show up)
Weren't even educated in our youth (Gotta teach em)
Tell you shit and don't know what we saying (What you saying)
For our ignorance we will be paying (With my soul)
We'd rather leave real work to just praying (On my knees)
Don't control the problem, when the evil's slaying (Beggin' please now)

I swear the system got us looking through the knothole
They preach autonomy, but it's not though
13 years of school won't get ya through the game yo
We become commodities for the rich folks

You might be sittin', askin' well who's the culprit (Who that be)
It's the ones who don't think about they footprint
There's limits to ideas only facts prove it (Speak that truth)
Our leaders got no evidence to their blueprint (Yah)

Still we can't pick a side
But a post can get a like
They're spreading lies like vines
The logic doesn't toe the line

Lies clouding up my sight
Hard to tell if I'm living right
Life's movin' too fast through the city lights
I'm just prayin' that we get it right

People don't tell you the truth (Tell the truth)
A quick click spreading fake news (Fake news)
Didn't show up to the voting booth (Gotta show up)
Weren't even educated in our youth (Gotta teach em)
Tell you shit and don't know what we saying (What you saying)
For our ignorance we will be paying (With my soul)
We'd rather leave real work to just praying (On my knees)
Don't control the problem, when the evil's slaying (Beggin' please now)

You put our trust in an ancient book (Libro)
Just a fish on a f*cking hook
You let it cloud your mind with lies
Being filled with hypocritical interpretations the shepherd supplies (Sheep)

I support using the spirit to spread good
But you're spreading hate and falsehood (Fake news)
I can't say what your son would say
But i think he'd judge us before he'd judge a man for being gay (Damn right)

If there's a man chilling in the sky
We'd probably all make him cry
And make him ask why
Did people in his name have to die

We spread a lie without learning what's fact
Without the right information how the f*ck we gonna act (a fool)
If we don't straighten up we gonna be done
How can you show up to school, and be ended by a gun

But it's not the guns fault, AR-15 left out the mother f*cking vault
Our government won't do a thing
No one will compromise for each other, we hate one another
The left and right wings, (f*ck em) If you f*ck with me put ya hands in the air sing

People don't tell you the truth (Tell the truth)
A quick click spreading fake news (Fake news)
Didn't show up to the voting booth (Gotta show up)
Weren't even educated in our youth (Gotta teach em)
Tell you shit and don't know what we saying (What you saying)
For our ignorance we will be paying (With my soul)
We'd rather leave real work to just praying (On my knees)
Don't control the problem, when the evil's slaying (Beggin' please now)
