lyrics

You know, they got you barking on
What now could you be harping on
Some shit you saw on cable news
That's got you hotter than a burning fuse

You know, you hit the big 2-0
You're old enough to know it all
It's got you feeling all this righteous rage
So go and put in on your Facebook page

Doo Doo Doo (preach) to the choir
Doo Doo Doo (words) filled with ire
Doo Doo Doo (do) you sleep sound
Doo Doo Doo
(knowing all your thoughts are doing nothing but echoing)

Round and round the little bubble of your social sphere
Heard by no one but you and like-minded peers
And now you think you've found objective truth
And all the other little bubbles think they've found it too

If it don't fit in your perception
I guess that makes it another noise you can ignore
Or else you'll use it as a weapon
But if you cannot weaponize you’ll just deny

Deny, deny, deny, deny, deny, deny, deny, deny

You know the truth don’t pay the bills
We need our drama and our fleeting thrills
Got us hanging in anticipation
For the day’s next big sensation

These days don’t even have to try
To distort and oversimplify
It’s market tested and it’s been prepared
And all you have to do is like and share

Doo doo, can’t turn it off
Doo doo, can’t get enough
Doo doo, do you sleep sound
Doo doo doo
Knowing all your thoughts are doing nothing but echoing

Round and round the little bubble of your social sphere
Heard by no one but you and like-minded peers
And now you think you've found objective truth
And all the other little bubbles think they've found it too

If it don't fit in your perception
I guess that makes it another noise you can ignore
Or else you'll use it as a weapon
But if you cannot weaponize you’ll just deny

Deny, deny
Deny, deny
Deny, deny
