False Narratives (Facts Matter)

V5.5

[Verse 1]
Flash on the screen
Red font
Big scream
Another cheap thrill
For an empty social-media feed

Quote in a box
Clipped from a stream
Cut out the doubts
Sell them a dream

[Chorus]
I want more than a headline
Give me names
Give me dates
Give me time
Tell me who
Tell me how
Tell me why
Facts matter
Details matter
Draw the line
Between reality and the lie 
Reality over Delusion
Facts over Spin narratives
stop adding to the confusion

[Bridge]
Click-bait everywhere. Headlines often deceiving. Facts matter. Details matter. Context matters. Reality and Truth matters. History matters. More to real Journalism than just transcribing what someone claims. Need get beyond today's Twitter attention spans.

[Verse 2]
Crowd in a frame
“Look
They all agree”
But you trimmed every word
That didn’t fit the meme

History’s a map
Not a mood today
You can’t bend every road
Just to win the page

[Bridge]
Stop just typing what they claim (hey!)
Ask the question
Name the game
Context cuts through the confusion
Cold light
Through the delusion

[PreChorus]
Click-bait everywhere. Headlines oft deceiving. Facts matter. Details matter. Context matters. Reality vs Delusion. History matters. More to real Journalism than just transcribing someone's claim.

[Chorus]
I want more than a headline
Give me names
Give me dates
Give me time
Tell me who
Tell me how
Tell me why
Facts matter
Details matter
Write it clear
Make the story match the sky
Write it clear
Make the story match the sky
detail the real who, what, where, when, and why

Speak Well, like this plea, the truth has gotta matter for both you and me.
