Normalizing Nonsense
















The heir apparent to,
 "If it bleeds, it leads"

Faking the story
is now how networks
succeed

Pioneered by a fox
in journalist gear

Perfected with pretty ladies,
angry men and fear

Say it enough times and the virus
will spread

Infecting Cell Phone Zombies
Poisonous memes in their heads

Talking points, marching orders
The limit is the sky

When you normalize nonsense,
conspiracies and lies

Normalizing nonsense, conspiracies and lies
Common sense no longer applies

She can report gloom with a gleam in her eyes

He can kick you down
If his ruse is denied

They blur the lines between real and fake

Though your eyes are open
you're not awake

The dark ages have returned
to destroy the great

As brains are buried
in cyberspace

It is the state we're in
and no one should be surprised

Because we normalized nonsense,
conspiracies and lies
