John and Sheila Ludgate - Daily Dose Of Nightly News

All the stories that fit, the sound-bites and the bits The narrative, sanctioned and approved
Who to bless and who to blame, who to reward and who to shame Find the answer in your daily dose of the nightly news

Chorus
But pay no attention to the man behind the curtain His algorithms, his AI puppet string codes
Don’t look too close at what you see and hear, your daily dose of entertainment, outrage and fear
The everyday display of the emperor’s new clothes

The veiled threat, the reprimand, the latest update on the latest plan Your daily dose of what to think about what you’ve been shown Close the door, shut out the lights, turn on the TV, say goodnight Fall asleep under the watchful eye of that media glow

Repeat Chorus

Second Chorus
Yeah, pay no attention to the man behind the curtain His algorithms, his AI puppet string codes
Don’t look too close at what you see and hear, your daily dose of entertainment, outrage and fear
If you don’t want to see, what you don’t want to know
…if you don’t want to believe what you already know
