We Are The Media Now

The next time we want to blame the media - whether liberal or conservative - remember that . . .

We are the media now
just ask us and you'll get the low-down
from Brexit woes to Trump's bad prose
yeah, we are the media now

My good neighbor Lee
got a brain about the size of a flea
just checked out his Facebook status
gave us all the scoop on what evils await us
from sea to shining sea

we are the media now
just ask us and you'll get the low-down
from the rich getting fatter to black lives matter
yeah, we are the media now

My old neighbor Gene
goes to church in Bowling Green
wears his bible belt so tight he yells,
'all you heathens goin' straight ta hell!'
it's a most unholy scene

we are the media now
just ask us and you'll get the low-down
from gun-nut with license to destroying Isis
yeah, we are the media now

I'm someone's neighbor, too
some think I've a screw loose - or two
but I don't care what people say
I know what I know, so go away
I've got more clues than you

we are the media now
just ask us and you'll get the low-down
seems the world's at an end
but don't worry, my friends
we'll all pull through - - somehow
