Newswire Swagger

Static in the street,

red light on the wall Everybody talking,

nobody says it all

Breaking glass in a breaking-news frame New suit smiling while they bury

the name Numbers get polished,

truth gets cut Fear in the ticker,

they keep us shut

I read between every headline scar

They sell the lie like a shooting star

No sleep, eyes wide,

watching the feed Every loud promise got a hidden fee

trap 808 lies were sold on the news Blue lights flash,

but they hide the clues Trap 808,

now the whole room shakes They package the truth till the truth

line breaks (shakes!)

Anchor says calm while the sirens rise Cold little script with a

warm disguise Cut to commercial,

cut out the pain Come back smiling like nothing changed I keep

my receipt for the words they spun

Count every shadow when the daylight comes If the screen says run,

I ask who got paid If the screen says peace,

why the drums still play trap 808 lies were sold on the

news Blue lights flash,

but they hide the clues Trap 808,

now the whole room shakes They package the truth till the truth

line breaks (breaks!)

Turn it up, let the signal bruise No more sleepwalking through the

news
