Fake News

06 Fake News
(Jim Stanard)

I gotta new girl
she’s a news girl
see her nightly on TV

Text her emoticons,
can’t wait to turn her on
when I switch to channel three

But I’ve been hearing
what I’ve been fearing
that she’ll just make me blue

But they’re just hating ,
prevaricating,
‘cause I know she’d never be untrue

Someone’s putting out fake news
not been verified
Rumor’s goin’ ‘round
that she’s got someone on the side
Someone’s putting out fake news
Who can it be?
Rumor’s goin’ ‘round
that she’s steppin’ out on me

We met on Tinder
thought she’s a winner
her photo looked pretty hot

Had to meet her
see how compatible we were
make sure she wasn’t just a bot

But photos on her phone
she couldn’t leave alone
of guys she kept checking again

She saw I worried
said in a hurry
oh -- they’re just my cameramen

Rumor’s goin’ ‘round
that she’s got someone on the side
Someone’s putting out fake news
Who can it be?
Rumor’s goin’ ‘round
that she’s steppin’ out on me

I get a little jealous
‘cause her ratings are high
Is she showing off her headlines
to some other guys?

Who’s putting out lies
‘bout other men she’s seein’
Is it the CIA or maybe North Koreans?
