a public relations nightmare
nuclear fallout
paranoia spreads like a disease
that ransacks small towns like the plague
people! run for your lives!
getting worked up over little things
doesn’t do one good for your health
people tune in on the televisions
straight to the all-news-all-the-time networks
that whore stories to death
beating the same trite facts into the ground
exploiting pain for profit and ratings
not to mention the publicity stunts
you have to learn to let go
sometimes
stop being so damn scared of the news
stop the madness
stop watching the news you say
I say one thing: never trust the goddamn media
they fabricate the truth and turn it into lies
proving that a sucker was born every minute
or at least that’s what the public relations departments
that actually work to cover their asses
will lead you to believe
and that leads me to believe
the alternative theory of news
is not to report all the facts
unfortunately for the select few, they know how
to search for the truth because it is out there
the mainstream stations doesn’t want to lose their audiences
but the sad reality of the reality of television
is that the channels just report the news to create fear and paranoia
just like the media did back in the 1950’s
when the atom bomb dropped.
