lyrics

They know what to say
to make you do what they want you to.
They know the way,
the buttons to choose.
This is the age of outrage.
A state of emergency
ever imbued.

It turns out that hate
drives folks to action.
It turns out that many
people like to feel the passion.
Oh what a rush
to feel like an assassin
when you get to pile onto
what the media is “blastin’.”

They’re gonna stoke the
fire tonight.
We’ll get that smoke up
into the sky.
We’ve been awoke from
a restless night,
and we’ll make the most of
the candlelight.

Look! A kid just drowned in a pool!
Look out! A teen just shot up a school!
Look here! Three bombs just went off in Istanbul!
Tune in tonight for the death toll!

They know what to say
to make you do what they want you to.
They know the way;
the buttons to choose.
This is the age of outrage,
yes this is true,
but I can turn it off and so can you
I can turn it off and so can you
I can turn it off and so can you
You can turn it off
just just turn it off

But I can turn it off and so can you.

But can turn it off so why do I never turn it off.

They’re gonna stoke the
fire tonight.
We’ll get that smoke up
into the sky.
We’ve been awoke from
a restless night,
and we’ll make the most of
the candlelight.

Until the bombs fall from the sky,
I won’t believe the end is nigh.

Until the bombs fall from the sky,
I won’t let fear rule my life.
