Stories Witnessed, crafted, told, produced, marketed, debuted, consumed, and believed They fit so well, the messages streaming straight to our screens They transfer subtle meaning Revealing truth, though always through deception In a system designed to control a population through propaganda But if you wanna mislead masses, you're gonna have to hire Free thinkers, critical minds, passionate souls, discerning eyes Rise up, take back the airwaves Recount the tales of our lives Ditch the audience, there's no substitute for experience Roll back the film and demand the whole story Look at this snapshot It only shows one angle but it frames a scene so beautiful that I forget how to look away The lights go out, just press record, the shutters go, the sides will show The film will roll, just lay it down, it's not the gold that brings it out Take back the airwaves Recount the tales of our lives Have you ever spread yourself so thin your vision shows right through the skin? Truth you can live keeps coming back And fallacy will always fade to black
